Singer Confidence 7467 Sewing Machine Review
The Singer 7467 Confidence sewing machine has some pretty intriguing features, a nice selection of stitches and an intuitive control panel that is easy to learn and operate. Even with all the built-in automation and features it is still available at a reasonable price.
The Confidence line operate as if they were designed to grow with a beginner sewer with lots of pre-set settings that are also adjustable, which is helpful as one's experience grows.
Singer 7467 Confidence Stitch Patterns
There are 70 built-in stitches and stitch width and length are adjustable to 7mm. These stitches cover everything from utility stitches for basic sewing (straight, zigzag, blind hem, overcasting and a selection of stretch stitches) to decorative sewing and quilting (satin stitches, Greek Key, a floral pattern, banner stitch, honeycomb, kite tail, criss cross, and more). There are three styles of one-step buttonholes including two bartack buttonholes and one keyhole style.
Six of the most used stitches have a quick access button to eliminate the need to scroll to the right pattern on the LCD screen.
Brother 7467 Confidence Presser Feet
Included are five, snap-on presser feet which can be adjusted to three height levels allowing the machine to handle thick fabrics and multiple layers:
- General Purpose Foot
- Zipper Foot
- Satin Foot
- Blindstitch Hem Foot
- Buttonhole
Brother 7467 Confidence Sewing Machine Features
Many of the most frustrating steps involved in setting up your machine to sew have been automated in this machine. The drop-in bobbin system takes care of drawing up the threads so you don't have to do it yourself and the reverse sewing button is conveniently located right near the needle so you can hit reverse without having to take your hands off of your material.
Other features include an automatic needle threader, a see through bobbin cover, 13 needle positions, a drop feed dog lever, and horizontal top thread delivery for smoother thread flow. An LED work light provides bright lighting over your workspace. The heavy-duty, metal frame keeps the sewing machine in place while you work - it doesn't jump or skip during operation. The extension table provides accessory storage and removes so that you can perform free-arm sewing - necessary when working on circular hems for cuffs or pant legs.
The Singer 7467 Confidence sewing machine provides nice, professional looking stitches and runs quietly enough that you can work while in the same room as the rest of your family without causing a major disturbance.

What sewing machines are good for quilting?
I'm looking to buy a new machine that can also quilt. I've only hand quilted on a giant frame, so this is all new to me and I also need to know HOW to machine quilt!
Free motion quilting is done by setting the machine for a straight stitch, dropping the feed dogs and moving the quilt by hand. Most other quilting is done with a plain straight stitch and raised feed dogs.
The big problem is having enough space in the harp -- the area to the right of the needle -- to handle a big quilt, so you may want to look for a machine with a "large harp", like the Juki TL-98Q.
Look for machines that also have good needle punching force, to easily penetrate thick fabric sandwiches. Also look for needle up or needle down stopping features (handy to stop needle down, so you'll restart at exactly the same spot, no wiggles) and see how easy it is to insert another bobbin while you're in the middle of quilting something.

You might want to consider learning to use one of the frames for machine quilting. John Flynn has a nice, inexpensive one that takes a big, big load off your shoulders, but there are others, like the Grace.
