Brother XL2230 31-Stitch Function Free-Arm Sewing Machine with 11 Built-In Stitches Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We ordered 7 of these machines for our school sewing class, and each machine is in use approximately 1-2 hours per week. Upon receipt, one of the machines would not work, and we received a replacement. We have now been using the machines for about 6 weeks, and have consistently had problems with the bobbin casing dislocating and causing the needle to jam or break. The sewing instructor, who has extensive sewing experience, used the word temperamental to describe them and said that they are a nightmare for the frustrated students attempting to learn to sew. They were reasonably priced, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Brother XL-3750 Convertible 35-Stitch Free-Arm Sewing Machine with Quilting Features Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Its been about 12 years since I have sewed (on a borrowed machine)... I purchased this machine in Feb and it was so easy to set up and use.. I am about halfway done a baby quilt and have really enjoyed sewing again. I think that if the machine hadn't worked so nicely I would have been frustrated. I haven't sewn enough to really know how to fix problems. The instruction manual was easy to follow and at one point when the tension wasn't right, the manual provided me what I needed to fix it.... I have a friend who sews regularly who recommended this to me and I have been exremely happy.....

For reverse operation, the machine supplies a reverse stitch operation button while a dial enables adjustments to thread tension. Stitches are illustrated on the side of the machine for quick identification, and a light bulb illuminates the work area. Equipped with seven accessory presser feet, the machine\'s presser feet snap on for fast replacement. The sewing machine comes with an assortment of sewing notions; many accessories store conveniently inside a compartment in the free arm. Additionally, a user\'s manual with instructions in English and Spanish accompanies the machine.
