Janome DC1050 Computerized Sewing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have not been using this machine long, but I already love it. At first when I tried it I had trouble with the machine feeding itself the material. I was used to having to really guide the material along with my old machine. This machine does not like it if you try to push the material into it. All you have to do is put the material in and put the foot down and start to go. The machine does the rest. I am working on very delicate material and this machine just glides along with no problems.
Also hemmed up a pair of jeans with one the decorative stitches which was a blast. So far no problems with the machine. My husband commented first thing about how quiet it is.

Sewing Essentials, 10 Sewing Machine Needles & Bobbins Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have prime shipping so this comes to my door in two days without a delivery price. The product is wonderful. The needles work fine and you get 10 in a pack of various sizes. This is an extreme convince because the price is the same or lower than you would pay if you went to a fabric store and it comes with machine bobbins. I am very happy that amazon is selling this product online now.

Brother(R) VX1435 Mechanical Sewing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this machine a year ago as a beginning sewer. I really loved it and was able to learn and make many things with it. I discovered and confirmed that sewing was going to be my 'thing'. I did not want my husband buying anything too expensive or fancy just in case I ended up not liking to sew.
Its a basic model and I don't need all of the fancy extras anyway. But now a year later, as my sewing confidence is growing and I am moving on to try new things, the machine stopped working right. There is some sort of problem with the thread. Its not the tension, I have tried everything. We have oiled and dusted it, changed thread, bobbins and fabric. The manual is terrible and not very helpful. The machine still runs but after a few stitches, the thread either breaks or comes out.
It may be a simple problem to fix but not something we can figure out. Since my husband got it for so cheap (and even on sale) he decided to get me a new one instead of paying to have this machine repaired.
We got a Husqvarna Emerald for $299. (a basic model) There is no comparison in how it runs its sturdier and even though its a basic model it has many nice extra features and the manual is great.
Having said that, there is no way that one year ago I'd have wanted a $300 machine not knowing if I would like sewing or not.
The Brother worked great and was easy to learn on, I just think it should have lasted longer than a year. 3 Months ago I probably would have given this 5 stars. Thats how happy I was with it until I started having these frustrating problems. (and an added note...a Husqvarna never needs oiling! How about that?)

Brother LS2125I Easy-To-Use Lightweight Basic 10-Stitch Sewing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a Brother digital sewing/embroidery machine in February that was a total DUD...I mean it didn't survive making one garment before it went Kaput and I'm still trying to get it fixed!
I bought this "little" machine as a "back up" and it is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to buy a bottle of sewing machine oil to oil it weekly (as the manual advised) otherwise it came fully equipped and it just purrs right along and does a great job of sewing on a variety of fabrics. I'm VERY HAPPY and it was 1/6 the price of Brother digital dud.

Many modern sewing machines give the impression that an advanced degree in mechanical engineering is a prerequisite to sewing. However, the purpose of a sewing machine is actually to make the mending, altering, and crafting of clothing easier. Brother developed the LS-2125i sewing machine for everyday use by experienced sewers and novices alike. Lightweight and user-friendly, the sewing machine covers all the basics with ten built-in stitches with multiple stitch functions, including elastic, hem, straight, satin, and zigzag stitching. The sewing machine further endears itself with its quick bobbin wind, automatic four-step buttonholer, and tension adjustment dial. To hem pants or alter sleeve lengths, the sewing machine converts from a flatbed surface to a free-arm design.
The 110-volt sewing machine uses an electrical foot pedal to control operation and stitching speed. With a flip of a lever, the machine switches into reverse stitching mode. The sewing machine comes with stitch length, stitch width, needle positions, presser foot pressure, and presser foot height features preset to allow the user to start sewing quicker. Presser feet snap on for quick replacement. With its light bulb, the sewing machine insures visibility while stitching. A host of accessories accompany the sewing machine, including the power cord, foot pedal, screwdriver, needle pack, bobbins, extra spool pin, twin needle, darning plate, and instructional manual in English and Spanish. Most accessories fit in the built-in storage compartment, located inside the free arm. For transporting the machine, an integrated handle is installed on top of the machine. This item is covered by a limited 25-year warranty. The sewing machine measures 15 inches long by 6 inches wide by 11-3/5 inches high and weighs 16 pounds upon shipping.

Brother XL2600I Sew Advance Sew Affordable 25-Stitch Free-Arm Sewing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great machine for the price. I am teaching my teenage daughter to sew and she is turned off by my clunky old Singer. So I keep that around for the tough jobs and use this new Brother for the light weight stuff.
The only major limitation of this machine is that it can't really handle heavy weight fabrics or multiple layers very well. There is no presser foot adjustment, so the foot can only be raised so much, and can't be adjusted for variable feed, depending on fabric thickness. There is only one setting. That means you need to use plenty of pins, and keep the old Singer around for the heavy duty stuff. Otherwise, a fun little machine.
