Is the Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 good for beginners?

Yes. The automatic needle threader, auto tension and automatic buttonhole remove much of the setup work beginners struggle with. The computerized menus still take some practice.

How many stitches does it have?

It has 600 built-in stitches, plus memory for sequencing stitches into saved patterns.

Yes. It is marketed for quilting and free-motion quilting, and the free arm and speed control help with quilt work. Its throat space is typical for a domestic machine, so very large quilts are tight.

Does it handle thick fabrics like denim?

It is rated for thick fabrics and heavier material, but it is a domestic machine. Multiple layers of heavy denim may need a slower pace and the right needle.

What is the difference between the 9960 and the 9985?

The 9985 has a larger display than the 9960's LCD screen. Both are computerized machines in the same Quantum Stylist line.
