I bought the Singer 7469Q Confidence Quilter because my old machine is on its last leg and I want to do free-motion quilting. I am very pleased with the Singer Confidence Quilter's ability to do free-motion quilting as well as regular and decorative stitches. The extension table allows smooth movement of a large quilt sandwich so the machine can be used on top of a normal table. I chose this machine because I love quilting and it was the most affordable one with feed dogs which can be lowered and programmable needle up/down, and they work fine. I haven't used the twin-needle or buttonhole features yet.
I like the presser feet that came with the machine. I have used the all-purpose foot for piecing and the even-feed foot and closed-toe darning foot for quilting. Since this machine was sold as a "Quilter" it would have been nice if it also included an open-toe darning foot as that is the main foot used by most free-motion quilters.
The most disappointing thing is that LED light is so dim, it is like trying to sew in the dark. I mounted a $35 "Bendable Bright Light" onto the sewing machine and it works great. I would have preferred to pay a little more for the sewing machine to have a decent light built-in. But, I highly recommend Singer Confidence 7469Q Quilter especially for frugal quilters. Even though I had to purchase a light, the Confidence Quilter is still an excellent value. It performs well and costs less than my 1983 Kenmore did. Since I didn't pay an arm and a leg for the sewing machine, I can still afford to buy some fabric.

I bought this machine for myself for Christmas. I had put it off for a long time, knowing that any new machine would not be as sturdy or reliable as my old Singer. But I really wanted to do free-motion quilting, and on my old machine you couldn't drop the feed dogs. All my worst fears were realized. Right off the bat, the thread take-up lever was bent and hit the casing every time it moved up and down. Clackety clack clackety clack the whole time. Because I was anxious to get started, I just removed that part of the case. But many other features disappointed - it is not possible to start a seam at the edge of the fabric, the fabric becomes wedged in the plate and won't move forward. This also applies to the back-up feature. And because the back-stitch is electronic and not manual, there is often a lag between front and back stitching. It is impossible to get the stitches to an even length - they are consistently squeezed together regardless of what tension is selected. At first it was very difficult to drop and raise the feed dogs as the lever was very stiff. Now the feed dogs will not raise at all and I have to find out how and where to get it repaired. As others pointed out, the light is ridiculously tiny and dim. The bobbin threader is very temperamental; often the thread will wind below the bobbin and have to be pulled out and started again. It is very a very ungainly process to change presser feet - for most a screw driver is required. Because the stitch length and width selection are manual, it is very difficult to get a precise setting to match previous stitching. The pedal is not at all sensitive, so it is very difficult to regulate speed. My old machine at least had two speeds you could start with; this one does not.
The one good thing I can say about this machine is that the needle-threader is great. As long as you have the handwheel turned so that the needle hole is in the proper position and the little barb sticks through the hole, it works every time.

This is a great sewing machine. I am a novice quilter and it just works so
smoothly. Easy to begin any sewing project. I love it!

I've had this machine for a week now, and am still trying to decide whether to return it. I got it set up and working quite easily, including the tension adjustment that bothers some people. I've got two problems:
1) If I try to begin sewing near the edge of the fabric, or begin further in and backstitch to the edge, it sucks the fabric down and chews it up. I'm doing piecework so I need to be able to sew to the edge!
2) Posted a question to Singer's website about instructions for the quilting attachments; no response in a week. Doesn't give me confidence in their customer service. (Edited to add-- Singer responded to my question soon after I posted this, after more than a week. So either customer service is slow, or Amazon reviews are a better way to contact them!)
