Customer Reviews
- Brother XL5700-its a good deal
I bought the machine after picking up a more expensive new Singer which was garbage. I was told by Singer customer service that I should have probably bought a more "advanced" machine.They would not take it back and so I said I'll never buy another Singer. This Brother machine is my first. The price was very good at a local big box store. It set up wonderfully and I was sewing in 10 minutes. The machine runs very smoothly and is much quieter than other sewing machines I have owned or used in quilting classes. I quilt around 30 hours per month with my machine, but didn't want to spend $500 or more for a basic sewing machine. I am very happy with the purchase of this XL-5700 for under $200.

- Like the machine
This is a great Brother Xl 5700 Sewing Machine for the price. I think the quality and number of functions are great for the part time or occasional user. I would recommend purchasing a cover though. Even though it is very portable, there's no exterior protection or dust cover. It also seems to be much better quality than a comprable singer.
