It is only a 17 stitch machine. The difference in stitches is the length/width, but that doesn't exactly make it a different stitch. The manual also stinks... not clearly written at all. It took me over 2 hours to figure how to get from one set of stitches to a second set of stitches (you have to adjust 2 different knobs to get from one set to the next, but that is nowhere in the manual). &amp;nbsp;One more thing that drove me nuts... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 5600 Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;comes with extra feet... great! However, not all of the extras are listed in the manual... and the manual does not tell you which foot to use for which stitch... thank goodness I have a little knowledge of sewing. &amp;nbsp;If you are a beginner, don't buy this machine. If you do, you will need to hire a professional to help you understand how to use it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-4042042581273201?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/4042042581273201/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-xl-5600-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/4042042581273201'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/4042042581273201'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-xl-5600-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Xl 5600 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3v00PZXXJI/AAAAAAAABEc/LdQ8GCySdE4/s72-c/Brother+Xl+5600+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-517567351377673214</id><published>2010-02-26T05:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-26T05:48:00.614-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Se350 Computerized Embroidery And Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Brother Se350 Computerized Embroidery And Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3v0CEmcTqI/AAAAAAAABEU/0555-j7iM-g/s1600-h/Brother+Se350+Computerized+Embroidery+And+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3v0CEmcTqI/AAAAAAAABEU/0555-j7iM-g/s320/Brother+Se350+Computerized+Embroidery+And+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Brother Se350 Computerized Embroidery And Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;computerized sewing and embroidery machine offers easy sewing and embellishment.

I've never had ANY trouble with it. It's a MUST that you also buy the PED Basic to go with your machine so that you can download designs from the internet. I've downloaded over 8,000 free designs so far, and that's just a "drop in the bucket". You're limited to 4 x 4 designs (that's the only drawback). The machine is very light weight and has accompanied me on many trips. You don't have to have special needles or special bobbins for this machine. It's VERY user friendly! The patterns that come with the machine are very high quality, as are the Alphabets. I'd like to have more fonts on the &lt;b&gt;Brother Se350 Computerized Embroidery And Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;but they are so easily accessible on the internet that this really isn't an issue. I will say that 40 weight rayon thread seems to work best (and use a bobbin thread when embroidering). When I finally wear this machine out, I'll probably go with another Brother machine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Small but fun&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Very small throat-makes it very difficult to change feet, and thread by hand. Just is not enough room under there. Some of my projects that have yards and yards of material I know I will have difficulty doing on this &lt;b&gt;Brother Se350 Computerized Embroidery And Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Embroidery hoop broke after just a few uses. Brother will replace if I ship it to them at my cost. They will then send a bag of bobbins back to me with my replacement hoop to easing the shipping pain. &amp;nbsp;Wish the bobbin cover did not remove completely as it is tiny and easy to misplace or gets hidden under your project. &amp;nbsp;Why bother including the little white pouch for accessories? It was ripped/split out of the box. Just give me a zip lock baggy to start with if you can not include a decent box for the seam ripper, hole punch, brush…it’s what all this stuff gets stored in after the machine is unpacked anyway. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-517567351377673214?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/517567351377673214/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-se350-computerized-embroidery.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/517567351377673214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/517567351377673214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-se350-computerized-embroidery.html' title='Brother Se350 Computerized Embroidery And Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3v0CEmcTqI/AAAAAAAABEU/0555-j7iM-g/s72-c/Brother+Se350+Computerized+Embroidery+And+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-1309926609145131915</id><published>2010-02-25T05:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-25T05:47:00.045-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Ls 1520 Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Brother Ls 1520 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3vznqJaWoI/AAAAAAAABEM/J-rrTpHsBs0/s1600-h/Brother+Ls+1520+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3vznqJaWoI/AAAAAAAABEM/J-rrTpHsBs0/s320/Brother+Ls+1520+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Brother Ls 1520 Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;is a 21 stitch function free arm sewing machine.

font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;I bought &lt;b&gt;Brother Cs 8072 Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;for the price and the features, but I have to admit, I was nervous after reading some of the reviews that told about all the problems that they had right away. But I figured it had to be better than my 35-40 year old Kenmore. I want to state right away, I am very happy with my purchase thus far. I have managed to figure some things out. But, if you are looking for a good machine to quilt, this machine has all the features you will need, and it's priced so you can actually afford it. 2 other points to know, Amazon has a good return policy and from what I have heard, Brother has a good customer service history. These were 2 other deciding factors for me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here are my first impressions. I thought I was going to get a 1/4" foot that is shown in the instruction manual. I didn't. If it was supposed to be in the box, I'd love to hear from someone to let me know. I also read in the reviews that some people got a instructional DVD. I didn't get this, but if I was supposed to get it, I'd like to get it. The hard cover does not allow you to keep the machine plugged in to use it, so it's not going to be useful for me, except when I want to store it long term. I cover my machine whenever it's not in use with a quilted cover that I made for my old machine. Luckily, it fits my Brother. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next problem was very strange. Suddenly the thread was bunching up on the bottom side of my project. Out came the instruction manual again, but the answer wasn't there. I changed the bobbin thread to a different color, which showed me that the top thread was the thread that was bunching up on the bottom. So I started messing with the tension again. But that wasn't helping at all! So I decided to try a different thread, and SHAZAM! it worked. The original thread I was using was a cheap thread, I changed it to a good quality thread. Lesson 2, &lt;b&gt;Brother Cs 8072 Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;does not like cheap thread. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-1695217507533030215?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/1695217507533030215/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-cs-8072-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/1695217507533030215'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/1695217507533030215'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-cs-8072-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Cs 8072 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3vzIK-UiaI/AAAAAAAABEE/ysCt2e_tkRc/s72-c/Brother+Cs+8072+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-4149687521861017954</id><published>2010-02-23T05:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-23T05:43:00.328-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Cs6000I 60 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Brother Cs6000I 60 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3vyoYKO6FI/AAAAAAAABD8/tXsvt4RaOS0/s1600-h/Brother+Cs6000I+60+Stitch+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3vyoYKO6FI/AAAAAAAABD8/tXsvt4RaOS0/s320/Brother+Cs6000I+60+Stitch+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Brother Cs6000I 60 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;is a 60 stitch computerized free arm sewing machine with multiple functions.

This is a great machine!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Cs6000I 60 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;represents the most incredible value for money on the market today. It is very easy to use and the manual is exceptionally helpful. It comes with every foot and accessory you could ever possibly need. In fact, there is nothing more you can buy for it. Compare that to the other sewing machine manufacturers, which give you only the most basic feet and then you, must purchase everything else separately. If you have been hankering for the convenience of fully computerized sewing, automatic needle threading, push-button sewing, and lots of fun stitches, don't hesitate. I highly recommend this machine. I've owned very expensive machines from all the top manufacturers, and would not recommend it if the stitches were not beautiful or if it were loud or junky. This was given to me as a gift (I'm ashamed to say I would probably have walked right past it because of its low price) and I love it so much, I have gone on to buy the Brother serger here on Amazon, and also a $999.00 Brother Innovis, which is another tremendous bargain. I was really pleased to see that even the more expensive machine uses the same bobbins and feet as this one, and this has many of the same features. This $200 machine comes iwth virtually all the same attachments as the $1000 one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Good bargain - Nice machine&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;I wanted a mid-range sewing machine with some flexibility, and this is the machine. I sews quickly and flawlessly, and is super easy to learn. It seems well made, and very intuitive to learn. I love the computerized stitch selection - so easy to change stitch length and width. I've had no problems with winding the bobbin as in previous Singer machines. I love the fact that it comes with a quilting table and a case, too, what a deal. It seems to me to be a good, basic machine that would be great for a beginner or intermediate sewer. I've made several purses since I bought this machine, and they stitched up very well. Good selection of presser feet with this machine, as well. Easy to thread and easy to wind the bobbin. The bobbins are readily available everywhere, so I bought a dozen for $2 so that I could keep plenty wound and ready to go. &lt;b&gt;Brother Cs6000I 60 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;is very light and easy to carry around - that's a big plus for someone like me who has to sew at the kitchen table. I could have rated the machine 5 stars, but haven't had it long enough to really have super deep feelings about it, so far I'd just say it seems to be a good mid-range machine and I would recommend it. My other machines have been an expensive Singer (nothing but trouble), a budget Brother, and a Baby Lock Serger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-4149687521861017954?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/4149687521861017954/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-cs6000i-60-stitch-computerized.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/4149687521861017954'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/4149687521861017954'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-cs6000i-60-stitch-computerized.html' title='Brother Cs6000I 60 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3vyoYKO6FI/AAAAAAAABD8/tXsvt4RaOS0/s72-c/Brother+Cs6000I+60+Stitch+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-7031988999648544448</id><published>2010-02-22T20:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-22T20:11:00.604-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Sewing Machine Ce 5000Prw'/><title type='text'>Brother Sewing Machine Ce 5000Prw</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3jJrmD6RTI/AAAAAAAABCU/h5vhPscLmB4/s1600-h/Brother+Sewing+Machine+Ce+5000Prw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3jJrmD6RTI/AAAAAAAABCU/h5vhPscLmB4/s320/Brother+Sewing+Machine+Ce+5000Prw.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Sewing Machine Ce 5000Prw &lt;/b&gt;is a Project Runway Limited Edition computerized sewing machine with 50 built-in stitches and 87 stitch functions.

Once the box has been opened, that item cannot be sold as new. Items with serious malfunctions are not refurbished, it would cost too much to refurbish them to 'like new' condition. Each refurbished item we feature is completely inspected, rerun down the production line and triple checked for quality before being packed and shipped. Most of the time the only difference between new and refurbished is the brown box and the lower price, which is your gain as an educated consumer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_7?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;amp;field-keywords=brother+sewing+machine&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0&amp;amp;sprefix=brother&amp;amp;tag=sewingmac-20" target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Click here to check best price for Brother Sewing Machine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Product Features&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Built-in Decorative Stitches&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Automatic Needle Threading System&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Automatic Bobbin winding system&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Adjustable Upper Thread Tension System for perfect stitches on any fabric&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;LCD Touch Control Panel&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Her's what my wife said&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;I bought this Brother machine to replace an old Singer machine that wore out it's gears. The Brother &lt;b&gt;Brother Sewing Machine Ce 5000Prw &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;is a great machine. We bought it refurbished and it looks new. Works great; really can't say anything bad about it. However, one advantage is also a disadvantage if you are used to an older, and heavier machine. The Brother is lightweight and easy to move around, store, etc . It also doesn't stay put when you are wrestling heavy materials around to get it in position to sew. This takes some getting used to. The old machine was built into a table so I may have to build a platform to hold this machine in place. We recommend it as a good machine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great purchase!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;We purchased a refurbished &lt;b&gt;Brother Sewing Machine Ce 5000Prw&lt;/b&gt;, at the beginning I wasn't sure about not buying a brand new one but after reading reviews and realizing the guarantee was the same as for a new machine we decided to buy it. &amp;nbsp;After we got it we have not had a single complain, it was a gift for my wife and she loves it, like some other people say, the automatic Threading System is a little tricky at the beginning but once you get it&amp;nbsp; works great. Bottom line it was a great purchase, the vendor was efficient, the delivery was fast and without any problem, I recommend it 100%. Easy sewing, I'm not an expert sewer. "Good" is even pushing it - so I need a lot of help. I really like the auto threader and one-step buttonholes. For practice, I have a trunk load of patterns, fabrics and husband's old shirts&amp;nbsp; for that &lt;b&gt;Brother Sewing Machine Ce 5000Prw &lt;/b&gt;is quite easy and fun to use.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-7031988999648544448?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/7031988999648544448/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-sewing-machine-ce-5000prw.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/7031988999648544448'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/7031988999648544448'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-sewing-machine-ce-5000prw.html' title='Brother Sewing Machine Ce 5000Prw'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3jJrmD6RTI/AAAAAAAABCU/h5vhPscLmB4/s72-c/Brother+Sewing+Machine+Ce+5000Prw.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-6333768669011267758</id><published>2010-02-21T20:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-21T20:08:00.234-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Project Runway Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Brother Project Runway Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="a"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3jJDCpKFZI/AAAAAAAABCM/yU21vbSzKxA/s1600-h/Brother+Project+Runway+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3jJDCpKFZI/AAAAAAAABCM/yU21vbSzKxA/s320/Brother+Project+Runway+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Project Runway Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; Model PC-210 is Limited Edition Project Runway machine allows you to take your wardrobe into your own hands by creating hip, fashion-forward clothing like that seen on the runway.

This machine is great. VERY easy to use, good manual, solid and attractive. So far everything I've tried has been easy and flawless. It quite literally makes sewing easier.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;So far, Quite an impressive machine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;I bought &lt;b&gt;Brother Project Runway Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; a couple of weeks ago. It is an upgrade for me from a VERY basic Brother machine. I bought mine at a sewing machine store; actually cheaper than Amazon and I get their expertise/service. &amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Brother Project Runway Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; makes a very nice buttonhole. Not as nice perhaps as a machine twice its price but still, just fine. It has this neat buttonhole foot in which you put your desired button in the back and it uses that button to automatically make the proper sized buttonhole. All in one step. This is WAY better than my old machine. &amp;nbsp;The bobbin is a top-drop-in. No more bringing up the loop, just put in and sew. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One feature I've yet to use is a front stop/go control button. I guess that if you didn't want to or couldn't use a foot pedal you could use this button instead. I can see it being nice for buttonholes; you just position your fabric, push the "go" button, and it makes all the side of the buttonhole and stops automatically. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-6333768669011267758?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/6333768669011267758/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-project-runway-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6333768669011267758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6333768669011267758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-project-runway-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Project Runway Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3jJDCpKFZI/AAAAAAAABCM/yU21vbSzKxA/s72-c/Brother+Project+Runway+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-2210963731380866167</id><published>2010-02-20T20:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-20T20:04:00.400-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Cs 80 Computerized Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Brother Cs 80 Computerized Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3jIIJRbdJI/AAAAAAAABCE/xghXk0TPGf0/s1600-h/Brother+Cs+80+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3jIIJRbdJI/AAAAAAAABCE/xghXk0TPGf0/s320/Brother+Cs+80+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Brother Cs 80 Computerized Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;is 85 stitch function computerized sewing machine which features Brother's exclusive quick-load thread cassette.

It took me a couple of hours to learn how to use the bobbin winder and the thread cassette the instruction book is written with pictures and describes everything step by step I found it very easy to use. I also love the fact of being able to use it with or without the foot pedal my last one I was constantly chasing it around the floor, its nice just to reach up and stop or start it with a button the same with the needle just push a button. I'm looking forward to all the built in stitches that are there and musts of all its light and easy to handle and I sat it on a wooden tray table to try it out and there was no vibrations and its so quiet. I know I will get hours of enjoyment from this machine. I've sewed for a long time and on all kinds of machines but I'm sure a beginner can learn to use it if you can use a computer you can use this&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;The machine is just alright&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Cs 80 Computerized Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;is great for quilting and everyday uses. The stitches used for quilting are tight. The decorative stitches really bring together your work. If you are trying to do upholstery or thicker than usual fabrics, I would look to another type of machine. The machine jams up, and the heavy duty thread unravels on the bobbin and causes poor stitches.&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Practical and User-Friendly&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a"&gt;This sewing machine was given to me for my birthday. I had never touched a &lt;a href="http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/"&gt;sewing machine&lt;/a&gt; before in my life. After reading through the manual a couple times, I was able to wind the bobbin and thread the machine pretty easily. This machine has an automatic needle-threader that worked only once. I've never been able to get the machine to thread the needle since then, so I just do it manually. &lt;b&gt;Brother Cs 80 Computerized Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;makes wonderful stitches, is very quiet, and travels well. I've managed to sew through some really thick layers with only minor mishaps such as a few skipped stitches. I would recommend this machine to beginners who will be moving on to a more advanced machine as they get more involved in the craft of sewing.&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-2210963731380866167?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/2210963731380866167/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-cs-80-computerized-sewing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/2210963731380866167'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/2210963731380866167'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-cs-80-computerized-sewing.html' title='Brother Cs 80 Computerized Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3jIIJRbdJI/AAAAAAAABCE/xghXk0TPGf0/s72-c/Brother+Cs+80+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-1625916019165030246</id><published>2010-02-19T20:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-19T20:00:02.257-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="a0"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3jHTJ5gTzI/AAAAAAAABB8/lC9nbZ-6uFs/s1600-h/Brother+Ce+4000+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3jHTJ5gTzI/AAAAAAAABB8/lC9nbZ-6uFs/s320/Brother+Ce+4000+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Sewing is easier than ever with this computerized wonder. &lt;b&gt;Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;cames with features 40 built-in utility, decorative and heirloom stitches, each with multiple stitch functions.

I was tired of students bring "problem" machines. I bought this machine for because two students brought ones like it and I was impressed with the quality for the price range. A good thing is, you can sew very slowly. It goes when you press on the foot pedal, it doesn't growl and hesitate. You can also sew fast too. The only thing I don't like on this model is that every time you stop, it stops with the needle down in the fabric and you must turn the hand wheel to move it up. It would be much more useful if the needle stopped in the position.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a0"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Good updated machine.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a0"&gt;Earlier this year I was given my first sewing machine. I works great but recently broke one of it's belts. Needless to say it was going to take a week to get a new one, and being in the middle of a project, I needed something quickly. I picked up this model by &lt;b&gt;Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;. It will take some getting used to compared to the 35 yr old one but, once I get the hang of it I think it will be a great addition. Super light weight, easy to use, great easy to follow instructions, and awesome additional stitches I am excited to use it more. My only negative though is using it for what I do, embellishing jeans and overalls for my kids and friends kids, the thickness of the sewing stage makes this difficult. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a0"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a0"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;A Fashion designer on a budget's DREAM&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a0"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;has been nothing but amazing for the past six months I have been useing it. I have made so many things with this. &lt;b&gt;Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;is really good at sewing thick fabrics. The machine is heavy duty yet so light.

However, I've secretly feared "&lt;b&gt; Brother 1034D 3 4 Thread Serger&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; " for years. I've quietly been hiding my fear by avoiding wearing any of the knitwear I've made. My conventional machine is a top of the line Viking with many features yet I've never been happy with finished look of knits made on any conventional machine. They just can't match yet alone exceed the look of RTW knits. The purpose of my lengthy introduction is to support my high rating of this entry-level serger. I'm an experienced seamstress who's obviously missed the boat on the necessity of a serger. Before choosing this serger I did my research. I've read reviews here on Amazon and several other sites about it taking into consideration everything users had to say. My ONLY problem has been that I'm used to the presser foot lifter being on the left not the right big deal. Biggest thing to remember is to thread it in order no matter what. Few people want to change thread but if you take your time and literally follow the numbers, you'll be serging a sample in 5 minutes. I've tested scraps of every type of fabric I could think of and made the adjustments as the book describes and everything's been perfect. Yes, it's a bit loud but putting a rubber mat underneath it helps a lot. I was lucky enough to get a new one on Amazon for approximately $180 delivered. It's worth every penny and more. I'm only mad at myself for waiting so long to enter the world of serging. It's cut my construction time in half. I won't be buying any RTW knits anymore. I've had it for a week and I've completed 3 projects though I work full-time. I've gushed enough, gotta sew.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="a" style="color: black;"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;GREAT instructions. so far so good&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;I was afraid of sergers, never having operated one, even though I have sewed for decades and own a sewing machine. The deal on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="color: black;"&gt;Brother 1034D 3 4 Thread Serger&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; at AMAZON is so good though, that I purchased. I have never seen this excellent level of instructions in any other machine I have ever purchased. And I mean not just sewing machines, but anything. The box includes two CDs. minor critique here - there is a complete print manual, and you can download a pdf of this manual from the Brother site. All in all a great start. I watched the videos about ten times, then I began to serge. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="color: black;"&gt;Brother 1034D 3 4 Thread Serger&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; runs fast and smooth, and I am looking forward to many hours of fun! I have already made a pair of slacks, and I can't wait to get back to sewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-7762384251393113750?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/7762384251393113750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-1034d-3-4-thread-serger.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/7762384251393113750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/7762384251393113750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-1034d-3-4-thread-serger.html' title='Brother 1034D 3 4 Thread Serger'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3jGGVgBE9I/AAAAAAAABB0/5BmC9moCTuk/s72-c/Brother+1034D+3+4+Thread+Serger.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-6420100241426746312</id><published>2010-02-17T23:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-17T23:09:00.713-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Es 2000 Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Brother Es 2000 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25nX5aPOzI/AAAAAAAABBs/BbmgAJrZ2bA/s1600-h/Brother+Es+2000+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25nX5aPOzI/AAAAAAAABBs/BbmgAJrZ2bA/s320/Brother+Es+2000+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Es 2000 Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;is a 77 stitch function computerized free arm sewing machine.

In fact they both use the same manual. The difference between the 2 are: CS6000 has an start/stop button so you can operate the machine w/o foot pedal, quilting accessories such as walking foot and larger table extension, needle up/down button, faster bobbin winding, 2 speeds, a hard cover and some extra fancy stitches. I don't care about these missing features. I sewed my own cloth cover using left over fabric. To me this little machine has all the functionality that I ever wanted from a sewing machine. All the utility stitches are there - sewing buttons and button holes (1-step), zippers, elastic, over lock, zig zag, satin, blah blah blah - everything you need to sew a dress or a pillow case, plus more. If you quilt a lot buy the CS6000 one. Threading is super easy because the direction is printed right on the machine. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Don't let the low price fool you! This machine is great!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;I have not had a minute's trouble with it. In fact, I prefer it over my Bernina 1090! It has so many features you would expect to pay thousands of dollars for! I thought I would never be able to afford a machine that did all this. The best part is, &lt;b&gt;Brother Es 2000 Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;comes complete with absolutely everything you can buy for it. There are no extra feet to buy, etc., because this includes everything you need. One night just for fun I worked through the entire instruction book. It is without a doubt the best and most complete manual I have ever gotten with a sewing machine. I was able to master every stitch function and attachment in one very pleasant evening. You really don't need another machine. The feet are plastic, which is GREAT--you can see through them. There is nothing cheesy about the parts--they all work exactly as they should. I am crazy about my machine, and its support materials. &lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-6420100241426746312?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/6420100241426746312/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-es-2000-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6420100241426746312'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6420100241426746312'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-es-2000-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Es 2000 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25nX5aPOzI/AAAAAAAABBs/BbmgAJrZ2bA/s72-c/Brother+Es+2000+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-3087723051963508739</id><published>2010-02-16T23:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T23:04:00.209-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;is now easier than ever with this computerized wonder.

I works great but recently broke one of it's belts. Needles stocky it was going to take a week to get a new one, and being in the middle of a project, I needed something quickly. I picked up this &lt;b&gt;Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;. It will take some getting used to compare to the 35 yr old one but, once I get the hang of it I think it will be a great addition. Super light weight, and easy to use, great easy to follow instructions, and awesome additional stitches I am excited to use it more. My only negative though is using it for what I do, embellishing jeans and overalls for my kids and friends kids, the thickness of the sewing stage makes this difficult. It seems about 1-2" thicker than the Viking. I may, for these projects, have to use the old one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;A Fashion designer on a budget's DREAM&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;This &lt;b&gt;Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;has been nothing but amazing for the past six months I have been using it. I have made so many things with this. It is really good at sewing thick fabrics. The machine is heavy duty yet so light. This machine is just way beyond worth the price. I purchased mine not from Amazon and for $100 (it’s a refurb) it looks brand new and gets the job done like it was brand new. It came with quilting feet and that was a plus even though i have never used quilted before at least I have the option. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vdr60NtlJEA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vdr60NtlJEA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-3087723051963508739?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/3087723051963508739/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-ce-4000-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/3087723051963508739'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/3087723051963508739'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-ce-4000-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-3161738690892093168</id><published>2010-02-15T23:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-15T23:02:00.637-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Ce5000 Project Runway Edition Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Brother Ce5000 Project Runway Edition Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25lzZ9ZQXI/AAAAAAAABBk/4diUCuqUXqI/s1600-h/Brother+Ce5000+Project+Runway+Edition+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25lzZ9ZQXI/AAAAAAAABBk/4diUCuqUXqI/s320/Brother+Ce5000+Project+Runway+Edition+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Ce5000 Project Runway Edition Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;is a Project Runway Limited Edition computerized sewing machine with 50 built-in stitches and 87 stitch functions.

Many times it is as simple as the box being opened by mistake or for quality checks. Once the box has been opened, that item cannot be sold as new. Items with serious malfunctions are not refurbished, it would cost too much to refurbish them to 'like new' condition. Each refurbished item we feature is completely inspected, rerun down the production line and triple checked for quality before being packed and shipped. Most of the time the only difference between new and refurbished is the brown box and the lower price, which is your gain as an educated consumer.&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_7?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;amp;field-keywords=brother+sewing+machine&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0&amp;amp;sprefix=brother&amp;amp;tag=sewingmac-20" target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Click here to check best price for Brother Sewing Machine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Features&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Built-in Decorative Stitches&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Automatic Needle Threading System&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Automatic Bobbin winding system&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Adjustable Upper Thread Tension System for perfect stitches on any fabric&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;LCD Touch Control Panel&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Here’s what my wife said.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;I bought this &lt;b&gt;Brother Ce5000 Project Runway Edition Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;to replace an old Singer machine that wore out it's gears. The Brother CE-5000 is a great machine. We bought it refurbished and it looks new. Works great; really can't say anything bad about it. &amp;nbsp;However, one advantage is also a disadvantage if you are used to an older, and heavier machine. The Brother is lightweight and easy to move around, store, etc. a good thing. It also doesn't stay put when you are wrestling heavy materials around to get it in position to sew. This takes some getting used to. The old machine was built into a table so I may have to build a platform to hold this machine in place. We recommend it as a good machine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great purchase!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;We purchased a refurbished &lt;b&gt;Brother Ce5000 Project Runway Edition Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;, at the beginning I wasn't sure about not buying a brand new one but after reading reviews and realizing the guarantee was the same as for a new machine we decided to buy it. After we got it we have not had a single complain, it was a gift for my wife and she loves it, like some other people say, the automatic Threading System is a little tricky at the beginning but once you get it it works great. Bottom line it was a great purchase, the vendor was efficient, the delivery was fast and without any problem, I recommend it 100%&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Easy sewing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;I'm not an expert sewer. "Good" is even pushing it - so I need a lot of help. I really like the auto threader and one-step buttonholes. For practice, I have a trunk load of patterns, fabrics and husband's old shirts (or at least I tell him they're old) - for that this machine is quite easy and fun to use.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-3161738690892093168?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/3161738690892093168/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-ce5000-project-runway-edition.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/3161738690892093168'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/3161738690892093168'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-ce5000-project-runway-edition.html' title='Brother Ce5000 Project Runway Edition Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25lzZ9ZQXI/AAAAAAAABBk/4diUCuqUXqI/s72-c/Brother+Ce5000+Project+Runway+Edition+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-6627073752041945291</id><published>2010-02-14T23:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-14T23:00:01.871-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Xl 2230 Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Brother Xl 2230 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25lPG3FB3I/AAAAAAAABBc/qvg5Enq1mwU/s1600-h/Brother+Xl+2230+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25lPG3FB3I/AAAAAAAABBc/qvg5Enq1mwU/s320/Brother+Xl+2230+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 2230 Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;features 31-stitch-functions and a free-arm design.

The Singer machine caused me problems from day one on. Contrary to the Singer the &lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 2230 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is quitter, doesn't let the table vibrate and doesn't tangle up the stitches like my Singer does. I already made a couple of outfits for myself and it worked like a charm. I only can recommend this machine!!! I am having a ball with this little machine. And the price isn't to beat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;More than I expected&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;I wasn't sure what to expect from some of the reviewers comments and the price of this machine. I certainly didn't need a toner cartridge! I'm new to sewing and with the features that &lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 2230 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; has, I figured that it could do just about anything I could ever need it to do. My mother, an experienced sewer, was there for moral support for my first attempt. &lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 2230 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; was great! Easy to use, quiet, and worked very well with no issues what-so-ever. I can't help but think that unless the machine was truly defective, that the people having problems with it, either didn't read, or didn't understand, the instructions. As a matter of fact, I know that's true because some things people mentioned as problems, are covered in the manual. I let my mother try it and she even liked it better than her old Singer. She said that she was looking for an inexpensive machine because she didn't need a fancy one like this with all these options. When I told her the price, she couldn't believe that this nice machine was so inexpensive. So far, I've got no complaints.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-6627073752041945291?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/6627073752041945291/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-xl-2230-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6627073752041945291'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6627073752041945291'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-xl-2230-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Xl 2230 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25lPG3FB3I/AAAAAAAABBc/qvg5Enq1mwU/s72-c/Brother+Xl+2230+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-7042346061774984197</id><published>2010-02-13T22:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-13T22:56:00.422-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Pe 700 Embroidery Machine'/><title type='text'>Brother Pe 700 Embroidery Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25kZGi0jxI/AAAAAAAABBU/etAxHkxyvJw/s1600-h/Brother+Pe+700+Embroidery+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25kZGi0jxI/AAAAAAAABBU/etAxHkxyvJw/s320/Brother+Pe+700+Embroidery+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Personalize family gifts or create one-of-a-kind fabrics with this easy-to-use embroidery-only machine.

This is a great machine!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;This machine represents the most incredible value-for-money. It is very, very easy to use, and the manual is exceptionally helpful. It comes with every foot and accessory you could ever possibly need. In fact, there is nothing more you can buy for it. Compare that to the other sewing machine manufacturers, which give you only the most basic feet and then you must purchase everything else separately. If you have been hankering for the convenience of fully computerized sewing, automatic needle threading, push-button sewing, and lots of fun stitches, don't hesitate. I highly recommend this machine. I've owned very expensive machines from all the top manufacturers, and would not recommend it if the stitches were not beautiful or if it were loud or junky. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Pros and Cons - You Decide&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;I bought &lt;b&gt;Brother 60 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine Cs 6000I&lt;/b&gt; for the price and the features, but I have to admit, I was nervous after reading some of the reviews that told about all the problems that they had right away. But I figured it had to be better than my 35-40 year old Kenmore. I want to state right away, I am very happy with my purchase thus far. I've had some problems (read below), but I have managed to figure some things out. But, if you are looking for a good machine to quilt, this machine has all the features you will need, and it's priced so you can actually afford it. 2 other points to know, Amazon has a good return policy and from what I have heard, Brother has a good customer service history. These were 2 other deciding factors for me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Good bargain - Nice machine,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;I wanted a mid-range sewing machine with some flexibility, and this is the machine. I sew quickly and flawlessly, and is super easy to learn. It seems well made, and very intuitive to learn. I love the computerized stitch selection - so easy to change stitch length and width. I've had no problems with winding the bobbin as in previous Singer machines. I love the fact that it comes with a quilting table and a case, too, what a deal. It seems to me to be a good, basic machine that would be great for a beginner or intermediate sewer. I've made several purses since I bought &lt;b&gt;Brother 60 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine Cs 6000I&lt;/b&gt;, and they stitched up very well. Good selection of presser feet with this machine, as well. Easy to thread and easy to wind the bobbin. The bobbins are readily available everywhere, so I bought a dozen for $2 so that I could keep plenty wound and ready to go. This machine is very light and easy to carry around.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-8143849609280100255?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/8143849609280100255/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-60-stitch-computerized-sewing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/8143849609280100255'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/8143849609280100255'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-60-stitch-computerized-sewing.html' title='Brother 60 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine Cs 6000I'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25j6ynYPpI/AAAAAAAABBM/ClPuLA1UzBE/s72-c/Brother+CS6000I+60-Stitch.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-4214494799459096441</id><published>2010-02-11T22:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-11T22:45:00.976-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Xl 2600I Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Brother Xl 2600I Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25h7lzT7nI/AAAAAAAABBE/FxJa7657K-Q/s1600-h/Brother+Xl+2600I+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25h7lzT7nI/AAAAAAAABBE/FxJa7657K-Q/s320/Brother+Xl+2600I+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 2600I Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is a 25 stitch free arm sewing machine with multiple stitch functions.

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 &lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 2600I Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; 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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Brother Service/Warranty is useless, but Amazon made it right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;I purchased this machine in early January. It arrived promptly by Amazon, as usual. I used it for a couple of weeks and a little piece of the automatic threader broke off. It took me over a week, counting the President’s holiday to get through to the sewing warranty department at Brother. My options were to go have it serviced (over 100 miles away) or get a box sent and picked up from UPS for service. The issue I have is that they do not replace the machine in the meantime. They also will not extend warranty time frame any longer. I phoned Amazon and they immediately arranged to send a replacement. I have purchased from Amazon for years, this is the first item I've needed to return. They came through. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have purchased from Brother: a monochrome screen word processor, a Brother laptop, 2 Brother laser printers, 1 Brother Laser multifunction, 1 Brother Fax machine and now this sewing machine. This is the only Brother item I have needed service on. They did not come through. Make sure a repair center is close before you buy this machine. As for the functionality of the machine, it is great for simple sewing. Anything heavier I recommend an industrial quality machine. This one is light which contributes to the poor quality of the materials.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Love it!.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The first one I got through Amazon broke half way through my first project. I requested an exchange through Amazon and had my new &lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 2600I Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; at my door the next day!! Before I even shipped the old one back to them. The machine works great, the button holes on this machine are so easy, such a relief and pleasant change from my Singer with the 4 step button hole. This machine also worked very well with my appliqués and all my normal sewing needs. For the price you can't go wrong here.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-4214494799459096441?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/4214494799459096441/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-xl-2600i-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/4214494799459096441'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/4214494799459096441'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-xl-2600i-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Xl 2600I Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S25h7lzT7nI/AAAAAAAABBE/FxJa7657K-Q/s72-c/Brother+Xl+2600I+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-1285582494586234622</id><published>2010-02-10T08:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-10T08:17:00.405-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Cs 6000T'/><title type='text'>Brother Cs 6000T Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2MKYiqFeRI/AAAAAAAAA-4/0vMKk4z5vLY/s1600-h/Brother+Cs+6000T+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2MKYiqFeRI/AAAAAAAAA-4/0vMKk4z5vLY/s320/Brother+Cs+6000T+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Brother Cs 6000T Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; computerized sewing machine comes fully loaded with 100 stitch functions, seven styles of one-step, auto-size buttonholes, and plenty of accessories to meet any sewing demand. &lt;b&gt;Brother Cs 6000T Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; comes with 60 pre-programmed stitches which perform 100 different stitch functions including utility, decorative, heirloom and quilting.

Having sewn for 45 years on several machines, I can honestly say this is the easiest and best yet. When the box arrived I wasn't sure a machine was in it because it was so light. However, don't let that fool you. This is the first machine I have used that can go through several layers of heavy fabric with ease. I shortened heavy denim jeans, and it sailed right through without skipped stitches. And buttonholes - all you do is insert a button and sit back and watch the machine do all the work. The needle threader took some getting used to. I suggest you practice using a needle with a large eye. Once you get the hang of it you won't have trouble. The presser feet are easy to change. The LCD window tells you what foot to use for what stitch. It's an easy machine to use and so much fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- This is the first machine I have purchased for myself after having used machines of friends and family over the years. I have to say this machine is simply fantastic, it is very easy to use, I love the drop in bobbin feature and the computerized stitching functions. The needle threader is a little tempermental, but is a nice feature to have. I would recommend this&lt;i&gt; &lt;a href="http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/"&gt;Brother Cs 6000T Sewing Machine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; to anyone from beginers to pros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- My 9 year old daughter wanted a sewing machine for her birthday. She never sewed on a machine before this one. It is so easy. We read the directions only once on how to thread the bobbin and the machine and she does it all by herself now. Great machine. Even her Father is sewing on the machine too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I sew almost every day. I bought my &lt;b&gt;Brother Cs 6000T Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; as a portable-spare sewing machine and when it arrived, I started sewing on it at home to get used to it. I haven't gone back to my more expensive model yet. It is user friendly, sews very smoothly and has a wonderful variety of stitches. Love it!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-1285582494586234622?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/1285582494586234622/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-cs-6000t-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/1285582494586234622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/1285582494586234622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-cs-6000t-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Cs 6000T Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2MKYiqFeRI/AAAAAAAAA-4/0vMKk4z5vLY/s72-c/Brother+Cs+6000T+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-8367306658417794732</id><published>2010-02-09T08:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-09T08:04:00.330-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Xl 5500'/><title type='text'>Brother Xl 5500 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2MHRrR9J4I/AAAAAAAAA-w/SHq9B5BGpKQ/s1600-h/Brother+Xl+5500+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2MHRrR9J4I/AAAAAAAAA-w/SHq9B5BGpKQ/s320/Brother+Xl+5500+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 5500 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is a 42 Stitch Function Free Arm Sewing.

I hadn't seen any other reviews before I bought it. The reason for me to choose this machine over others is the reasonable price and the reputation of the brand. After spending one afternoon figuring how to use it, the needle suddenly broke. Fortuately, there are another two in the accessories bag. THe main thing makes me worried is that if I sew fast, the thread will be broken. I kind of feel sewing speed should not be a problem to cause the thread broken. Maybe I am not proficient in operating this machine. I hope someone will give me some advice on how to solve the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 5500 Sewing Machine easy to use&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had this machine up and running in about 10 minutes. If you've sewed before its super simple. Runs fast and makes nice stitching. This machine is good for anyone, especially a beginner. I think what you need to do to prevent your thread breaking is adjust the tension on the thread. It should be easy to do on a machine like that, I'm sure the manual can help or you can go to any local fabric store and they can help you&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-8367306658417794732?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/8367306658417794732/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-xl-5500-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/8367306658417794732'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/8367306658417794732'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-xl-5500-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Xl 5500 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2MHRrR9J4I/AAAAAAAAA-w/SHq9B5BGpKQ/s72-c/Brother+Xl+5500+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-3575048578516865585</id><published>2010-02-08T07:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-08T07:07:00.299-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Ls 2020'/><title type='text'>Brother Ls 2020 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2L51hZY5yI/AAAAAAAAA-o/ojcRHNKqrLk/s1600-h/Brother+LS2020+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2L51hZY5yI/AAAAAAAAA-o/ojcRHNKqrLk/s320/Brother+LS2020+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Brother Ls 2020 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; arrived in good condition. It's lightweight, so easy to carry as a senior citizen. I've made curtains and throw pillows and it fits my needs. But it has a carrying handle. I think it's a good value for the price. I like my Brother Ls 2020 Sewing Machine, but it did not arrive ready to use. When I began to sew it started rough and not smooth at all. I had to get the machine oiled prior to doing any project. I like the &lt;b&gt;Brother Ls 2020 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; and hopefully will enjoy doing many more projects. Though it's refurbished, it looks like new. It doesn't work well with materials thicker than doubled jeans, but enough for everyday use. And it's easy to start with!

I don't know any advanced techniques, nor do I need to use them, but this machine is perfect for my needs, and was the best price I could find for the value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Sewing made easy,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I Bought this as my first sewing machine, it works great, came in a few days, the instructions were super helpful and I learned how to use all the features very quickly, fun and easy to use, it's my first sewing machine and I've already made a bunch of stuff with all different fabrics, no problems at all. solid, quality, I'd definitely recommend this sewing machine!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Worth every penny and more!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Brother Ls 2020 Sewing Machine&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; was difficult to assemble all the little parts and one even cracked due to the flimsy plastic. I purchased this sewing machine as a gift for my granddaughter to learn to sew. She gave up after the first day; brought it back to me and when I tried to work with it, I sent it straight to the trash dump. I have been an accomplished seamstress for over fifty years and used many, many different sewing machines but this one was worse than the toy machine I had as a child. The bobbin tension never stayed in the proper setting and the thread was constantly knotting and/or breaking.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-3575048578516865585?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/3575048578516865585/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-ls-2020-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/3575048578516865585'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/3575048578516865585'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-ls-2020-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Ls 2020 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2L51hZY5yI/AAAAAAAAA-o/ojcRHNKqrLk/s72-c/Brother+LS2020+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-951057722315928424</id><published>2010-02-07T06:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-07T06:51:00.412-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Vx 1120'/><title type='text'>Brother Vx 1120 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2L2Ka4X08I/AAAAAAAAA-g/h8i-uuYUQ1E/s1600-h/brother-vx1120.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2L2Ka4X08I/AAAAAAAAA-g/h8i-uuYUQ1E/s320/brother-vx1120.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This &lt;b&gt;Brother Vx 1120 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; model&amp;nbsp; fearures the 2 Stitch and Zig Zag Stitches Sewing Machine which has just been fully serviced and sews a fantastic stitch.Forward and Reverse, 15 Stitch Functions,3 Needle Positions which is good for sewing awkward items such as zips etc. It has the Adjustable Stitch Width, Adjustable Stitch Length and has the Twin Needle Capability.

I soon thereafter forgot about the idea and the machine was put in the closet. Three years, two moves, and one child later, I learned to sew clothing and became addicted. I have had almost no problems whatsoever with this machine. It is a breeze to wind the bobbin and even easier to thread. My only complaint is the touchy tension control. This machine does not do anything fancy, but what it does it does well. I would reccamend this machine for the beginning or occaisional sewer on a budget&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Don't let the low price fool you. This is a great machine!&lt;br /&gt;This is the &lt;b&gt;Brother Vx 1120 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; that some of the larger sewing and quilting expos are using in their workshops now because they are so lightweight, easy to learn, and reliable. High end Berninas and Vikings are just too complicated for people to sit down and learn at in a classroom setting, and they are way too expensive. This machine is the Featherweight of the 21st century, with tons of stitches and fun built in.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-951057722315928424?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/951057722315928424/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-vx-1120-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/951057722315928424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/951057722315928424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-vx-1120-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Vx 1120 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2L2Ka4X08I/AAAAAAAAA-g/h8i-uuYUQ1E/s72-c/brother-vx1120.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-7093214439680150889</id><published>2010-02-06T08:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-06T08:17:00.587-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Innov Is 40'/><title type='text'>Brother Innov Is 40 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2G4mzKlj2I/AAAAAAAAA-Y/CfPWeaMTOsI/s1600-h/Brother+Innov+Is+40+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2G4mzKlj2I/AAAAAAAAA-Y/CfPWeaMTOsI/s320/Brother+Innov+Is+40+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This &lt;b&gt;Brother Innov Is 40 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is full featured electronic sewing machine from Brother has 40 programmed stitches, an automatic needle threader, and an easy to use bobbin-winding system.

In preliminary tests, the Brother Innov Is 40 Sewing Machine performance has been comparable to that of other electronic machines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_7?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;amp;field-keywords=brother+sewing+machine&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0&amp;amp;sprefix=brother&amp;amp;tag=sewingmac-20" target="blank"&gt;Click here to check best price for Brother Sewing Machine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brother Innov Is 40 Sewing Machine Features&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Advanced Needle Threading System&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Automatic Bobbin Winding System&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Automatic Reinforcement Function&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Drop Feed Function&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Free Arm&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quick-Set™ Bobbin&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stitch Length: Up to 5mm&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stitch Width: Up to 7mm&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Upper Thread Tension System &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object height="265" width="320"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bDn8SIUbLC0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bDn8SIUbLC0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Review&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;OK For The Price&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My parents bought this &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Brother Innov Is 40 Sewing Machine&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to replace a disfunctional Singer they had just given me as a gift. Though some parts similar, this was the better budget-priced machine. I had no problems with the upright bobbin or thread tangling like some other users reported. My problems were with the feed dogs, which had difficulty with anything thicker than medium-weight denim, and the speed, which is fast ONLY - not so great on curves. My other complaint is that you cannot fine tune the stitch length or width, and you have to turn a screw to adjust the buttonhole length. I also had a problem with uneven thread tension. Finally, the manual was written and printed on a budget. In the interest of squeezing in four languages, directions were often too brief and did not correlate with the illustrations. I would recommend this machine to intermediate sewers primarily working with medium-weight woven fabrics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Good starter machine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought&lt;b&gt; Brother Innov Is 40 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; about 5 years ago when I wanted to learn how to sew and quilt. As a beginner, the bobbin can be tricky--but be patient! I haven't had any problems with the machine--keep it oiled and clean.This model has very minimal bells and whistles which is perfect for a beginner. I plan on upgrading soon, but I will still keep this machine for quilting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great Product for Beginner Sewer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I purchased this machine for the same price several years ago. I used a &lt;a href="http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/"&gt;sewing machine&lt;/a&gt; only once before during a Home Ec class in HS but wasn't into sewing at time. As a result I don't remember anything and for all intents and purposes was a novice. This is an excellent machine because it is so easy to use. The most important thing I did upon purchasing this machine was to read the manual and go through all the procedures. Because it was so easy to use I became quite an accomplished sewer and have saved several hundred dollars making personal and household items. With the savings I've made on these items the machine has more than paid for itself. I would recommend this machine for anyone who wants a trouble free product, though not at the price offered. Walmart has a new beginner &lt;b&gt;Brother Innov Is 40 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; with even more stitches and accessories for an even cheaper price than the one listed here though this model can do quite a lot even with only ten built in stitches.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-7093214439680150889?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/7093214439680150889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-innov-is-40-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/7093214439680150889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/7093214439680150889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-innov-is-40-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Innov Is 40 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2G4mzKlj2I/AAAAAAAAA-Y/CfPWeaMTOsI/s72-c/Brother+Innov+Is+40+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-6387188247602800744</id><published>2010-02-05T07:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-06T23:14:24.676-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Pe700'/><title type='text'>Brother Pe700 Embroidery Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GyXBMVkkI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/vPsAXhlCBxU/s1600-h/Brother+PE700.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GyXBMVkkI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/vPsAXhlCBxU/s320/Brother+PE700.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Brother Pe700 Embroidery Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is a computerized embroidery machine that is comes with the Brother Memory Card Library. Embellish everything from home decor to clothing and handbags with this computerized embroidery machine. Stitch designs up to a maximum of 5 by 7 inch&amp;nbsp; on this outstanding machine.

The reason I bought a single-use embroidery machine is because it makes sense to me to invest in a separate machine just for sewing, and that way your expensive embroidery machine sustains less wear and tear and lives longer. I've posted a picture of the PE-700II and all the included paperwork and accessories out of the box. The paperwork includes a detailed manual in English, the same manual in Spanish, a "pictures-only" manual for quick reference, and a manual for the USB functionality of the machine. The manuals are very detailed and extremely helpful - if you'd like to see them for yourself, I think they are currently available on the Brother website. The standard accessories are included - white thread, empty bobbins, seam ripper, scissors, maintenance parts, a 5x7 inch embroidery hoop and guide, and a nifty plastic machine cover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Vague instruction book&lt;br /&gt;I am new in the &lt;b&gt;Brother Pe700 Embroidery Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; so I found the instructions that came with the machine vague. Not knowing what in the world they are talking about made it difficult to figure things out. I went online to different websites and got a basic education and can now at least stumble through a basic design. The instruction book with the machine doesn't explain what all the computer-like screens are for, what they do, why you would want to do a certain thing...nothing. I found out accidently on a website that the underscore is used for making a space when using the fonts. Basic info like that should be included with the machine. But as far as performance goes, I got it to DO something, it worked flawlessly and made some beautiful designs.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-6387188247602800744?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/6387188247602800744/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-pe700-embroidery-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6387188247602800744'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6387188247602800744'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-pe700-embroidery-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Pe700 Embroidery Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GyXBMVkkI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/vPsAXhlCBxU/s72-c/Brother+PE700.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-3788028472679475429</id><published>2010-02-04T06:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:11:05.943-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Vx1435'/><title type='text'>Brother Vx1435 Free Arm Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GZM12wAUI/AAAAAAAAA-I/Vs0wHY2GoT0/s1600-h/Brother+VX1435+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GZM12wAUI/AAAAAAAAA-I/Vs0wHY2GoT0/s320/Brother+VX1435+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Vx1435 Free Arm Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; provides 14 built-in stitches and Quick-Change Presser Feet 4-Step Auto Buttonholder Auto Bobbin Winder 35 Stitch Functions and sleevesSewing machine offers twin needle function to create decorative patterns with two color threads Automatic quick bobbin winder Quick-change presser feet Upper thread tension control dial Pattern selection dial Buttonhole fine-adjustment Reverse sewing lever Built-in handle for portability Built-in sewing light Foot pedal and instruction book included.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Vx1435 Free Arm Sewing Machine Features&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sewing machine provides 14 built-in stitches and 4-step automatic buttonholer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Versatile craft tool features free arm for sewing cuffs and sleeves&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sewing machine offers twin needle function to create decorative patterns with two color threads&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Automatic quick bobbin winder &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_7?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;amp;field-keywords=brother+sewing+machine&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0&amp;amp;sprefix=brother&amp;amp;tag=sewingmac-20" target="blank"&gt;Click here to check best price for Brother Sewing Machine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object height="265" width="320"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RneYzsqOyD0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RneYzsqOyD0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Reviews &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;So far, so good.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am learning to sew again. This machine is very basic, but not more than I need right now. The instructions that came with the machine are easy to understand. It is very easy to set up and to use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Highly recommend this machine.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I purchased a top-name brand machine a couple years ago and have been a frustrated sew-er ever since! It had all the bells and whistles, but I could never get the tension just right among other little annoyances. So I purchased this machine, and I couldn't be happier. It is definitely basics only, but it immediately produced a perfect stitch and got the job done right. I would highly recommend this machine if you don't need fancy stitches. My only issue with it is that you can't see the bobbin, so you can't tell when you're running out of that thread. But overall, excellent for the price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Brother Vx1435 Free Arm Sewing Machine is Great.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This machine is great. It has everything my daughter and I need, AND is easy to use. The price couldnt be better either! I did have some reservations at first about the thread jamming as stated in earlier reviews. We have had some thread jamming issue with the bobbins while learning the machine, but had also experienced that on my mothers very expensive machine. It was always easy to make right. The directions are simple and straightforward. As always, buying through Overstock is a delight. If you are looking for a quality sewing machine at a great price look no further!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-3788028472679475429?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/3788028472679475429/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-vx1435-free-arm-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/3788028472679475429'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/3788028472679475429'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-vx1435-free-arm-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Vx1435 Free Arm Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GZM12wAUI/AAAAAAAAA-I/Vs0wHY2GoT0/s72-c/Brother+VX1435+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-6221382553192160710</id><published>2010-02-03T05:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:10:43.931-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Ce4000'/><title type='text'>Brother Ce4000 Computerized Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GV-LP1dvI/AAAAAAAAA94/lvpBtIaZ3Nc/s1600-h/Brother+Ce4000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GV-LP1dvI/AAAAAAAAA94/lvpBtIaZ3Nc/s320/Brother+Ce4000.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Ce4000 Computerized Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is easier than ever with computerized wonder.

I was tired of students bring "problem" machines. I bought this machine for because two students brought ones like it and I was impressed with the quality for the price range. A good thing is, you can sew very slowly. The machine goes when you press on the foot pedal, it doesn't growl and hesitate. You can also sew fast too. The only thing I don't like on this model is that every time you stop, it stops with the needle down in the fabric and you must turn the hand wheel to move it up. It would be much more useful if the needle stopped in the position. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_7?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;amp;field-keywords=brother+sewing+machine&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0&amp;amp;sprefix=brother&amp;amp;tag=sewingmac-20" target="blank"&gt;Click here to check best price for Brother Sewing Machine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Good updated machine.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier this year I was given my first machine...a 35 year old Viking. I works great but recently broke one of it's belts. Needlesstosay it was going to take a week to get a new one, and being in the middle of a project, I needed something quickly. I picked up this model by Brother. It will take some getting used to compared to the 35 year old one but, once I get the hang of it I think it will be a great addition. Super light weight,&amp;nbsp; and easy to use, great easy to follow instructions, and awsome additional stitches I am excited to use it more. My only negative though is using it for what I do, embelishing jeans and overalls for my kids and friends kids, the thickness of the sewing stage makes this difficult. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;A Fashion designer on a budget's DREAM&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Ce4000 Computerized Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;has been nothing but amazing for the past six months I have been useing it. I have made so many things with this. It is good at sewing thick fabrics. The machine is heavy duty so light. This machine is just beyond worth the price. I purchased mine from &lt;a href="http://amazon.com/"&gt;amazon.com&lt;/a&gt; and for $100 (its a refurb) it looks brand new and gets the job done like it was brand new. It came with quilting feet and that was a plus even though i have never used quilted vefore atleast i have the option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Good for general duties&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Sewing Machine Model Ce4000&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; mainly to do buttonholes. It works fine for everything I've done. It doesn't do well with thick fabric or several layers of light fabric. I don't like the presser foot lever being located on the right. Being right-handed, it's very awkward to raise &amp;amp; lower the presser foot while I'm holding my fabric. Also, there is no way to change the needle ending position. It always ends down &amp;amp; I would like to have it end in the up position most of the time. But, I got it mainly for making buttonholes &amp;amp; they're a breeze! I would recommend this machine for anyone doing light duties or occasional sewing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-6221382553192160710?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/6221382553192160710/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-ce4000-computerized-sewing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6221382553192160710'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6221382553192160710'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/brother-ce4000-computerized-sewing.html' title='Brother Ce4000 Computerized Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GV-LP1dvI/AAAAAAAAA94/lvpBtIaZ3Nc/s72-c/Brother+Ce4000.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-6434185146080650852</id><published>2010-02-02T04:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:10:17.566-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Easy To Use Sewing'/><title type='text'>Easy To Use Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GIW6wQZRI/AAAAAAAAA9o/xHlHsw9FURU/s1600-h/Brother+LS2125I.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GIW6wQZRI/AAAAAAAAA9o/xHlHsw9FURU/s320/Brother+LS2125I.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Perfect for basic sewing, &lt;b&gt;Easy To Use Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;, mending, crafting, and scrapbooking projects, this lightweight, portable sewing machine with 10 built-in stitches.

Firstly, the directions are a little bit confusing due to how they are worded and the four languages that are present throughout. Secondly, the thread gets caught on the wheel which unthreads the needle frequently. However, the sewing machine sews great and is easy to use once the directions are read thoroughly. I have never sewn before in my life, but with this sewing machine in the last two weeks I have made my first Halloween costume for my daughter. So, all in all, I am very happy with the machine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Sewing made easy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just bought this sewing machine for my 8 yr old daughter. Instead of waiting until Christmas and risking the possibility of a disappointed little girl I tried this machine out. I have been sewing for about 30 years and learned as a young girl myself. There is nothing more discouraging for a new sewer than a poor piece of machinery. This is an amazing machine for the money. So &lt;b&gt;Easy To Use Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; !!!! The auto button-hole attachement works great. I am very hard to please and I will say that I am impressed so far!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-6434185146080650852?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/6434185146080650852/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/easy-to-use-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6434185146080650852'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6434185146080650852'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/easy-to-use-sewing-machine.html' title='Easy To Use Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GIW6wQZRI/AAAAAAAAA9o/xHlHsw9FURU/s72-c/Brother+LS2125I.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-9203217757427883375</id><published>2010-02-01T05:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:10:00.814-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother 77 Stitch'/><title type='text'>Brother 77 Stitch Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GMDGOkKtI/AAAAAAAAA9w/weeVZNXuh5o/s1600-h/Brother+77+Stitch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GMDGOkKtI/AAAAAAAAA9w/weeVZNXuh5o/s320/Brother+77+Stitch.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Professional Designer in Your the CE5000 PRW is a Project Runway Limited Edition computerized sewing machine with 50 built-in stitches and 87 stitch functions.

What is Refurbished? When a product is refurbished, it is made to look like and operate as a brand new item should. Many times it is as simple as the box being opened by mistake or for quality checks. &lt;b&gt;Brother 77 Stitch Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;, Once the box has been opened, that item cannot be sold as new. Items with serious malfunctions are not refurbished, it would cost too much to refurbish them to 'like new' condition. Each refurbished item we feature is completely inspected, rerun down the production line and triple checked for quality before being packed and shipped. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_7?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;amp;field-keywords=brother+sewing+machine&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0&amp;amp;sprefix=brother&amp;amp;tag=sewingmac-20" target="blank"&gt;Click here to check best price for Brother Sewing Machine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother 77 Stitch Sewing Machine Features&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; * Built-in Decorative Stitches&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; * Automatic Needle Threading System&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; * Automatic Bobbin winding system&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; * Adjustable Upper Thread Tension System for perfect stitches on any fabric&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; * LCD Touch Control Panel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Review&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Her's what my wife said&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought this Brother machine to replace an old Singer machine that wore out it's gears. The Brother CE-5000 is a great machine. We bought it refurbished and it looks new. Works great; really can't say anything bad about it. However, one advantage is also a disadvantage if you are used to an older, and heavier machine. The Brother is lightweight and easy to move around, store, etc ... a good thing. It also doesn't stay put when you are wrestling heavy materials around to get it in position to sew. This takes some getting used to. The old machine was built into a table so I may have to build a platform to hold this machine in place. We recommend it as a good machine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Great purchase!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We purchased a refurbished CE-5000PRW, at the beginning I wasn't sure about not buying a brand new one but after reading reviews and realizing the guarantee was the same as for a new machine we decided to buy it.&lt;br /&gt;After we got it we have not had a single complain, it was a gift for my wife and she loves it, like some other people say, the automatic Threading System is a little tricky at the beginning but once you get it it works great. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Easy sewing,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not an expert sewer. "Good" is even pushing it - so I need a lot of help. I really like the auto threader and one-step buttonholes. For practice, I have a trunk load of patterns, fabrics and husband's old shirts (or at least I tell him they're old) - for that this machine is quite easy and fun to use&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-9203217757427883375?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/9203217757427883375/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-77-stitch-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/9203217757427883375'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/9203217757427883375'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-77-stitch-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother 77 Stitch Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2GMDGOkKtI/AAAAAAAAA9w/weeVZNXuh5o/s72-c/Brother+77+Stitch.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-3068972991944944884</id><published>2010-01-31T07:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:09:48.891-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Xl 3750'/><title type='text'>Brother Xl 3750 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2BYbggvWlI/AAAAAAAAA9g/bF8PUqrbFZA/s1600-h/Brother+Xl+3750.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2BYbggvWlI/AAAAAAAAA9g/bF8PUqrbFZA/s320/Brother+Xl+3750.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 3750 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; Loaded with convenient features, this Convertible Free Arm Sewing Machine with bounus accessories has a wide variety of built-in utility, decorative and heirloom stitches, each with multiple stitch functions.

Brother XL3750&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;A great value for a quality product&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ad said it was lightweight and it is wonderfully so. The quick start guide was easy to follow to get started right away on my projects. It is a diagram-based chart for getting the bobbin and the machine threaded and I breezed through it; however, when I got to the automatic needle threader, I got a bit frustrated figuring out how the mechanicism worked. When I realized I had to look at the needle hole at a left angle and not straight on, I saw how the mechanism worked and it then was so easily to thread the machine I almost cried for joy. I have never had an automatic needle threader before and it is wonderful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Would be great if it wasn't completely useless&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This &lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 3750 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; had all the features I was looking for right now, but the foot pedal has only one speed setting: light speed. Which would be fine if the person doing the sewing was a robot with Matrix-like faster-than-light reflexes, or if they could slow down time or something. As is, the machine is completely useless. The slightest amount of pressure on the pedal makes the fabric shoot out so fast that it immediately gets bunched up and it is impossible to keep it straight or see what it's doing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-3068972991944944884?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/3068972991944944884/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-xl-3750-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/3068972991944944884'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/3068972991944944884'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-xl-3750-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Xl 3750 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2BYbggvWlI/AAAAAAAAA9g/bF8PUqrbFZA/s72-c/Brother+Xl+3750.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-7868476519219380422</id><published>2010-01-30T07:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:09:36.849-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother He 120'/><title type='text'>Brother He 120 Embroidery Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2BVzrakUhI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/aUydxunxZk4/s1600-h/Brother+He+120+Embroidery+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2BVzrakUhI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/aUydxunxZk4/s320/Brother+He+120+Embroidery+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother He 120 Embroidery Sewing Machin&lt;/b&gt;e is A convenient LCD touch screen allows you to easily select from the many options available for embroidery and sewing.

I read all the instructions and was excited to try it, and it's many stitches out. Unfortunately, after 2 days it broke. The store said I would have to return it. I never even got to try the embroidery function. So, either the machine is very fragile or I just got a lemon. I returned it for refund and will try a Singer machine this time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;I absolutely love this machine!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was able to thread a bobbin from the very beginning, then i learned to thread the top with no problem at all. I then ventured to try to stich and it went perfectly! my mom was impressed with what I was able to do within minutes of taking it out of the box! then I thought ok now time to test the embroidery patterns out and following the instructions it was no problem at all. It turned out so well! I love this machine and I am absolutely positively happy that I purchased this! It is definetely money worth spent in my opinion! It's definetely good if your a beginner like myself, there are still things that I am gonna learn down the road but so far it's been a blast and I can't wait to start making things for my daughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Brother HE-120 Sewing/Embroidery Machine Good Value&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have the &lt;b&gt;Brother He 120 Embroidery Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; for 2 years. I think this combo machine is a great value! I have no problems with my machine and really love it. I have used many of the decorative stitches included in the&lt;b&gt; Brother He 120 Embroidery Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;. I have been very sucessful in digitizing my own designs on Embroidery Magic 2, converting the format to PES, transferring the design to the Brother card on PED-BASIC. It easy to use. I found an easy solution when researching this on the internet. When loading the cassette at step 6 on the cassette pull the thread straight up when loading the cassette. It works and I shared it with you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-7868476519219380422?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/7868476519219380422/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-he-120-embroidery-sewing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/7868476519219380422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/7868476519219380422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-he-120-embroidery-sewing.html' title='Brother He 120 Embroidery Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2BVzrakUhI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/aUydxunxZk4/s72-c/Brother+He+120+Embroidery+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-5485886096777550130</id><published>2010-01-29T06:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:09:05.153-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother 26 Stitch'/><title type='text'>Brother 26 Stitch Function Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2BS4Tei_nI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/WrV9cucpAQA/s1600-h/Brother+26+Stitch+Function+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2BS4Tei_nI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/WrV9cucpAQA/s320/Brother+26+Stitch+Function+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother 26 Stitch Function Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; built in utility, decorative and heirloom stitches / Automatic Needle Threader / Automatic one step button holer with stitch balance control.

Between the manual and the two books I was completly prepared to make pajama bottoms for the entire family for Christmas. After much research and absolutly no experience with sewing I purchased this machine and borrowed a couple of boos from the library:  I started with making a pair for myself and being OK with any mistakes and moved on to making the rest with confidence. I spent a good hour reading and re-reading the instructions and doing everything as told and I ended up free styling it with the zig zag stitch. I don't feel too bad about it though because my grnadmother whos being sewing for 50 years can't do it either!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Amazing machine!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is easy to use (since I am certainly not a novice) and the features are awesome! I wanted a sewing machine for home use and found this one to be absolutely amazing!! I would recommend this machine to anyone, even if you've never used a sewing machine before, you can feel like a pro in minutes with this one!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Nice Machine for the Price&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought &lt;b&gt;Brother 26 Stitch Function Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; for my wifes birthday... She has sewn many different things, Rag Quilts, Blankets, Pillow cases... I have a suit that is fraying around the Button Hole and the machine has the adapter to do button holes. I think it is a great machine for the price.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-5485886096777550130?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/5485886096777550130/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-26-stitch-function-sewing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/5485886096777550130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/5485886096777550130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-26-stitch-function-sewing.html' title='Brother 26 Stitch Function Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2BS4Tei_nI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/WrV9cucpAQA/s72-c/Brother+26+Stitch+Function+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-7537421960863112790</id><published>2010-01-28T04:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:08:22.202-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Entrepreneur pr-650'/><title type='text'>Brother Entrepreneur pr-650 embroidery machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2A8NR09LdI/AAAAAAAAA9I/LZPD8oWdp9g/s1600-h/Brother+Entrepreneur+pr-650.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2A8NR09LdI/AAAAAAAAA9I/LZPD8oWdp9g/s320/Brother+Entrepreneur+pr-650.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;If you dream of starting an embroidery business or expanding the possibilities of your home embroidery, then the &lt;b&gt;Brother Entrepreneur pr-650 embroidery machine&lt;/b&gt; is for you.

I did some light mending and then finished with sewing heavy outdoor fabric and the machine handled it all beautifully. The reverse stitch button is prominent and easy to push and the &lt;a href="http://www.brother-usa.com/Homesewing/"&gt;brother machine&lt;/a&gt; responds quickly. As an aside, the machine comes with lots of gizmos to do all kinds of special sewing projects (embroidery) and also 4 standard needles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Would be great if it wasn't completely useless!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This machine had all the features I was looking for right now, but the foot pedal has only one speed setting: light speed. Which would be fine if the person doing the sewing was a robot with Matrix-like faster-than-light reflexes, or if they could slow down time or something. As is, the machine is completely useless. The slightest amount of pressure on the pedal makes the fabric shoot out so fast that it immediately gets bunched up and it is impossible to keep it straight or see what it's doing. Other problems with this machine include: upper thread tension wheel doesn't seem to do anything at all (something another reviewer pointed out as well!), and on my machine the tension is permanently too tight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Love this machine!!! Brother Xl 3500T Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its been about 12 years since I have sewed (on a borrowed machine)... I purchased this &lt;a href="http://www.brother-usa.com/Homesewing/"&gt;brother sewing machine&lt;/a&gt; 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.....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-5177246303736733302?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/5177246303736733302/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-xl-3500t-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/5177246303736733302'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/5177246303736733302'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-xl-3500t-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Xl 3500T Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2A38nO6ZCI/AAAAAAAAA9A/cUdj1MQXBDM/s72-c/Brother+Xl+3500T+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-4409445387246367830</id><published>2010-01-26T05:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-21T03:54:44.296-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Xr 65'/><title type='text'>Brother Xr 65 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S17vaHntx5I/AAAAAAAAA84/e0UiOunv8I8/s1600-h/Brother+XR65T+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S17vaHntx5I/AAAAAAAAA84/e0UiOunv8I8/s320/Brother+XR65T+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Xr 65 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; comes with Featuring 27 built-in stitches and 67 stitch functions for garment construction, decorative sewing, quilting, craft projects and basic mending.

It is lightweight&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I bought this machine as a gift to my daughter who is not very experienced but wanted to try sewing again.&lt;br /&gt;She is very happy with it. It is lightweight, cute and has many built-in features that she is learning to use.&lt;br /&gt;She had no difficulty in getting started as one problem was solved by referring to the enclosed manual.&lt;br /&gt;The machine was noted as being reconditioned and I hesitated but decided if there had been a problem it had been taken care of which eliminated her having the same, if any problem occured in the initial try outs. So far, so good. I am hoping my assumption of durability will prove true as Brother is a well established company.Price was great and it does pay to be an Overstock member."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- It runs beautifully and very smooth&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It runs beautifully and very smooth, and it's very east to adjust the thread tension for different materials, so that the thread doesn't create loops and doesn't rip. It has many different options, and I think the manual dials survive much longer than digital. I recommend this machine highly!" "The reconditioned Brother sewing machine arrived quickly and was in good condition with only a slight scratch on one corner. Machine works very well and came with great instructions. The only discrepancy I find is in the writeup describing it as a &lt;b&gt;Brother Xr 65 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;, when in fact it is a &lt;i&gt;Brother XR65&lt;/i&gt;. The price, a good deal to me, was under $100, including shipping!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-4409445387246367830?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/4409445387246367830/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-xr-65-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/4409445387246367830'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/4409445387246367830'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-xr-65-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Xr 65 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S17vaHntx5I/AAAAAAAAA84/e0UiOunv8I8/s72-c/Brother+XR65T+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-3807980749979551740</id><published>2010-01-25T05:41:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:07:22.738-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Xl 5700'/><title type='text'>Brother Xl 5700 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S12gw9-W-hI/AAAAAAAAA8w/wnCMi75hmi0/s1600-h/brother+xl5700.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S12gw9-W-hI/AAAAAAAAA8w/wnCMi75hmi0/s320/brother+xl5700.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;With the &lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 5700 Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;choice of stitches to cover your sewing requirements, plus many features, it's a great starter machine with free arm, needle threader, one step buttonhole and 21 stitches.

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 &lt;a href="http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/"&gt;Brother machine&lt;/a&gt; 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 &lt;i&gt;XL-5700&lt;/i&gt; for under $200.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Like the machine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a great &lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 5700 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; 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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-3807980749979551740?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/3807980749979551740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-xl-5700-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/3807980749979551740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/3807980749979551740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-xl-5700-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Xl 5700 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S12gw9-W-hI/AAAAAAAAA8w/wnCMi75hmi0/s72-c/brother+xl5700.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-7860644789301349658</id><published>2010-01-25T05:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:07:09.104-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Xl 5340'/><title type='text'>Brother Xl 5340 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S12bNh-Y9DI/AAAAAAAAA8o/YEIWYJvegyY/s1600-h/brother+xl-5340.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S12bNh-Y9DI/AAAAAAAAA8o/YEIWYJvegyY/s320/brother+xl-5340.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 5340 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is a 21 Built-In Stitches 40 Stitch Functions Automatic One-Step Buttonhole Stitch Balance Control Free-Arm Sewing Surface Stitch Length and Stitch Width Control F.A.S.T.

This is a great machine!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the machine that some of the larger sewing and quilting expos are using in their workshops now because they are so lightweight, easy to learn, and reliable. High end Berninas and Vikings are just too complicated for people to sit down and learn at in a classroom setting, and they are way too expensive. This machine is the Featherweight of the 21st century, with tons of stitches and fun built in. Go for it!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Purchased for non-sewing daughter,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought this machine because of the many good reviews, and because a hard case/cover was included. The case is more cover than case, as the machine is not enclosed by the cover, and the cover has no handle, just a hole in the back where you can stick your hand in to carry the machine, much like carrying a cube of soda cans. The machine can be carried in this fashion because it is incredibly light. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Easy to use&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought this machine for Christmas and have sewn on it just a few times so far. I thought it might be complicated, but it is so very easy to use. I chose &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 5340 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; because of the reviews and I'm glad I did. It's lightweight enought that I can take it to beginner quilting classes. It came with so many "optional" parts, I am just real satisfied so far. It's quite and so easy to understand the computerized stich screen. It tells you how to do everything when you change stiches!!! You will be very satisfied.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-7860644789301349658?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/7860644789301349658/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-xl-5340-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/7860644789301349658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/7860644789301349658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-xl-5340-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Xl 5340 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S12bNh-Y9DI/AAAAAAAAA8o/YEIWYJvegyY/s72-c/brother+xl-5340.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-1124500550929614062</id><published>2010-01-20T08:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:06:56.101-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Es2000'/><title type='text'>Brother Es2000 Computerized Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1cy3fs2wxI/AAAAAAAAA8Q/m3yoKJPTz_w/s1600-h/Brother+Es2000+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1cy3fs2wxI/AAAAAAAAA8Q/m3yoKJPTz_w/s200/Brother+Es2000+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Es2000 Computerized Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is a 77 stitch function computerized free arm sewing machine.

This machine is great!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One night just for fun I worked through the entire instruction book. It is without a doubt the best and most complete manual I have ever gotten with a &lt;a href="http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=yfp-t-701-s&amp;amp;toggle=1&amp;amp;cop=mss&amp;amp;ei=UTF8&amp;amp;rd=r2&amp;amp;p=brother%20sewing%20machines" target="blank"&gt;brother sewing machine&lt;/a&gt;. I was able to master every stitch function and attachment in one very pleasant evening. You really don't need another machine. The feet are plastic, which is GREAT--you can see through them. There is nothing cheesy about the parts--they all work exactly as they should. I am crazy about my machine, and its support materials. So crazy, in fact, that I recently bought the Brother serger here on Amazon, and it is just as good. GREAT machines. Why spend more? Buy this inexpensive machine and you'll have lots more money to spend on FABRIC!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great Machine! Even for beginners!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought this machine so I could make Christmas Presents this year and it has been great. The only thing i would reccomend is if you are new to sewing to try and have someone who isnt new around, the directions can be somewhat confusing in their wording, especially if you have never even looked twice at a machine before. And it took me forever and a year to figure out how to thread the bobbin, and the machine since I didnt know how. But once i got it, i figured out that it has lots of different stitch settings, which I am still trying out and will probably never use all of them. It can sew buttons as well. And it comes with lots of feet for the machine as well as bobbins (it has to have a special kind) and a little kit of tools as well. Overall this is a great buy! I may end up purchasing "Sewing for Dummies" to go along with it, so I can learn to sew more then a pillow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great sewing machine for the price&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just purchased this &lt;b&gt;Brother Es2000 Computerized Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; for the little girl I teach sewing to and am jealous of how many features it offers and how nice it sews. I've recommended it to 7 of my friends and family and all love how well it handles thin and thick fabrics alike. This is really a great machine.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-1124500550929614062?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/1124500550929614062/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-es2000-computerized-sewing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/1124500550929614062'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/1124500550929614062'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-es2000-computerized-sewing.html' title='Brother Es2000 Computerized Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1cy3fs2wxI/AAAAAAAAA8Q/m3yoKJPTz_w/s72-c/Brother+Es2000+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-9016228876257423118</id><published>2010-01-20T06:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:06:36.800-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Pc 210'/><title type='text'>Brother Pc 210 Prw Limited Edition Project Runway Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1cXUvpEQII/AAAAAAAAA8I/-ZCwqplxwkE/s1600-h/Brother+PC-210.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1cXUvpEQII/AAAAAAAAA8I/-ZCwqplxwkE/s320/Brother+PC-210.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This &lt;a href="http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-pc-210-prw-limited-edition.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Pc 210 Prw Limited Edition Project Runway Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; allows you to take your wardrobe into your own hands by creating hip, fashion-forward clothing like that seen on the runway.

I am teaching my daughter to sew; this machine can be set to sew very slow. Great when trying to teach a nine year old. Threading is pretty simple; there is a nifty automatic needle threader. I'm using it but threading a machine needle was never a big deal for me. I also like the automatic needle up feature. On every machine I ever used previously, I had to turn the wheel when done sewing a line to raise the needle. This machine does it automatically. &lt;i&gt;Brother Pc 210 Prw Limited Edition Project Runway Sewing Machine&lt;/i&gt; makes a very nice buttonhole; not as nice perhaps as a machine twice its price but still, just fine. It has this neat buttonhole foot in which you put your desired button in the back and it uses that button to automatically make the proper sized buttonhole. All in one step. This is WAY better than my old machine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Better than anything for the price&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I shopped extensively before buying this machine, including reading reviews, asking folks and trying them at the shop. This machine is great. VERY easy to use, good manual, solid and attractive. So far everything I've tried has been easy and flawless. &lt;b&gt;Brother Pc 210 Prw Limited Edition Project Runway Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; quite literally makes sewing easier.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-9016228876257423118?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/9016228876257423118/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-pc-210-prw-limited-edition.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/9016228876257423118'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/9016228876257423118'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-pc-210-prw-limited-edition.html' title='Brother Pc 210 Prw Limited Edition Project Runway Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1cXUvpEQII/AAAAAAAAA8I/-ZCwqplxwkE/s72-c/Brother+PC-210.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-7817518044804899558</id><published>2010-01-20T05:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:06:25.671-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Sewing'/><title type='text'>Brother Sewing And Embroidery Machine Se270D</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1cIfLAUy7I/AAAAAAAAA8A/DpcYyK7vOl8/s1600-h/Brother+SE270D+Computerized+Sewing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1cIfLAUy7I/AAAAAAAAA8A/DpcYyK7vOl8/s320/Brother+SE270D+Computerized+Sewing.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Sewing And Embroidery Machine Se270D&lt;/b&gt; appearance 97 congenital adornment designs including 27 Mickey Mouse and Friends designs and 70 added designs for florals, melancholia capacity and abundant more.

I was interested in doing some things but didn't want to spend a lot of money on a machine as I didn't know if I would really like embroidering. As a novice, I didn't want to deal with anything too complicated. WOW, what a surprise. I love this machine!! I have never embroidered anything in my life! Opened the machine and within an hour had embroidered my first design. It was only my initials but I couldn't believe how easy it was with this machine. I'm hooked! No doubt I have much to learn about embroidering..but for me, I couldn't have found a better machine! It's GREAT!!! Very happy I chose this machine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Brother Embroidery and Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I received this machine as a birthday gift and couldn't be happier with it! I thought it would be intimidating to use, but on the contrary it is extremely easy to switch between sewing and embroidery. The automatic threading system makes it amazingly easy to switch from one color to another and the electronic controls are a great addition. Straight stiching is very quiet, and even embroidery isn't that loud. The only caveat is that you can't add designs directly, but with the purchase of a SmartBox you can download them free or economically from websites and save the $60 or $80 Brother charges for expansion cards. All in all this is a fantastic machine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Just A Little Research&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have just purchased this &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Sewing And Embroidery Machine Se270D&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. I had a very tough time finding one in stock - NEW. I had an older machine Euro-Pro that I just loved but it quit sewing stitches. I am thrilled that after researching this Brother uses the exact same bobbins (I have 60+ of SA156). It also uses Low Shank Quick attaching feet that all my specialty rufflers, etc. will easily adapt to.

I have made so many things with this. It is really good at sewing thick fabrics. The machine is heavy duty so light. This machine is just way beyond the price. I purchased mine not from amazon and for $100 it looks brand new and gets the job done like it was brand new. It came with quilting feet and that was a plus even though i have never used quilted vefore atleast i have the option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great sewing machine for the price range&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;My &lt;i&gt;Brother Sewing Machine Model Ce4000&lt;/i&gt; arrived very quickly, and it was very easy to set up and get going on my first projects. It is very lightweight, so it is great for those with a small sewing area or that need to travel. It came with a variety of presser feet for all the different stitches and I have not had any problems with it so far; it is so easy to change stitches and I love the easy set bobbin and automatic needle threader! Buying a refurbished machine has been a very good choice for me, because it works great and was definitely worth the price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Good for general duties&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My boyfriend ordered the &lt;b&gt;Brother Sewing Machine Model Ce4000&lt;/b&gt; for me on 10/29. I got it today. I absolutely love it! I haven't had a chance to sew anything yet,but have done some sample stitches. I wanted it because I'm gonna start making baby quilts and this machine has some features that will come in handy. The price is awesome. Can't wait to get started.

In fact they both use the same manual. The difference between the 2 are: CS6000 has an start/stop button so you can operate the machine w/o foot pedal, quilting accessories such as walking foot and larger table extension, needle up/down button, faster bobbin winding, 2 speeds, a hard cover and some extra fancy stitches. I don't care about these missing features. I sewed my own cloth cover using left over fabric. To me this little machine has all the functionality that I ever wanted from a sewing machine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Don't let the low price fool you! This machine is great!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have owned this machine since Mother's Day 2005. I have not had a minute's trouble with it. In fact, I prefer it over my Bernina 1090! It has so many features you would expect to pay thousands of dollars for! I thought I would never be able to afford a machine that did all this. The best part is, this machine comes complete with absolutely everything you can buy for it--there are no extra feet to buy, etc., because this includes everything you need. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great Machine! Even for beginners!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought this &lt;b&gt;Brother Computerized 77 Stitch Function Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; so I could make Christmas Presents this year and it has been great. The only thing i would reccomend is if you are new to sewing to try and the directions can be somewhat confusing in their wording, especially if you have someone who isnt new around, have never even looked twice at a machine before. And it took me forever and a year to figure out how to thread the bobbin, and the machine since I didnt know how. But once i got it, i figured out that it has lots of different stitch settings, which I am still trying out and will probably never use all of them&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-437361877784365850?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/437361877784365850/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-computerized-77-stitch-function.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/437361877784365850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/437361877784365850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-computerized-77-stitch-function.html' title='Brother Computerized 77 Stitch Function Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1XXE2LWOPI/AAAAAAAAA7w/vAPztdqOaME/s72-c/Brother+Computerized+77+Stitch+Function+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-6559799422582360608</id><published>2010-01-19T07:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:04:52.523-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Xr7700'/><title type='text'>Brother Xr7700 Computerized Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1XIsc1jTNI/AAAAAAAAA7o/hxnOnD8J06o/s1600-h/Brother+XR+7700+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1XIsc1jTNI/AAAAAAAAA7o/hxnOnD8J06o/s320/Brother+XR+7700+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;A purchase of &lt;a href="http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-xr7700-computerized-sewing.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Xr7700 Computerized Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; will also give you free bonus feet, ranging from quilting foot to walking foot.

You can bring this anywhere with you, such as in your sewing classes and workshops. You can even allow your teenage kids to make use of it for their own craft. You would not have any problem storing this one. A small cabinet will do. If there is no more free space, you can just place this on top of any sturdy surface, perhaps a desk or a cabinet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Can easily wind the bobbin and thread the needle.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two of the easiest but hard-to-accomplish jobs in a sewing machine. It will take you a while before you can wind the bobbin or place the thread into the needle. The &lt;i&gt;Brother XR7700&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href="http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/"&gt;sewing machine&lt;/a&gt;, however, makes these so much convenient for you. You can wind the bobbin and insert the thread into the needle.

It comes with an instructional CD, which is very thorough. I found that I am able to skip the first few choices, because I'm an experienced sewer. It also comes with an embroidery hoop, a needle, a plastic cover, scissors, screw drivers, and a center guide. &lt;br /&gt;The machine looks very much like a regular sewing machine--just more rounded, and is about the same size of a regular machine. It doesn't take up much space at all. Cleaning it is simple. I wipe it with a damp cloth, and the other parts are simple to clean with a brush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Easy to set up and use, lots of nice features&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a nice patterns built into the machine, but many of them are cartoon-ish or meant for kids, so I recommend either buying some compatible design cards (check eBay for great prices) or the SmartBox if you'd like to upload designs from your computer or Internet. The included alphabet sets are quite nice. There are three styles, special characters, and small and capital letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great little machine for starters or the more experienced&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have owned a &lt;i&gt;Brother Pe 150&lt;/i&gt; embroidery machine for a long time now. It is the perfect accompaniment to my larger Brother Galaxy 3000 machine. The Brother Pe 150 is highly portable and easily stored so great for those of you who do craft fairs or are limited on space. Ok, so &lt;b&gt;Brother Pe 150 Embroidery Machine&lt;/b&gt; only has an embroidery area of 100mm x 100mm but this area is big enough for most projects such as personalising garments with names or motifs and embroidering logos&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-6592091463118532199?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/6592091463118532199/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-pe-150-embroidery-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6592091463118532199'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/6592091463118532199'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-pe-150-embroidery-machine.html' title='Brother Pe 150 Embroidery Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1W-xNEAosI/AAAAAAAAA7g/k34KoWmYDmE/s72-c/Brother+Pe+150+Embroidery+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565067225563899097.post-7249130314944420268</id><published>2010-01-19T05:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:03:00.101-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brother Xl 2600'/><title type='text'>Brother Xl 2600 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1WuvWBHpSI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/FrtwTLZ-tiQ/s1600-h/Brother+Xl+2600+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1WuvWBHpSI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/FrtwTLZ-tiQ/s320/Brother+Xl+2600+Sewing+Machine.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 2600 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is a 25 stitch free arm sewing with multiple stitch functions.

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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;An excellent buy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a GREAT machine for the money - it does everything the average sewer needs and does it well. I bought it because my $700 Elna became too heavy for me - this one is amazingly light. I really like the easy access to backstitching and with a little practice the needle threader works very well. I highly recommend this machine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great Machine For The Money!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one hard-working little machine. I am very pleased with its performance. The self-threading needle takes a little practice, but once I got the hang of it, it's very easy. One of the most aggravating things about sewing was threading the machine needle. The &lt;b&gt;Brother Xl 2600 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; makes sewing a breeze. I also like the variety of stitches to choose from. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an easy to use home sewing machine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4565067225563899097-7249130314944420268?l=brothersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/7249130314944420268/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-xl-2600-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/7249130314944420268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4565067225563899097/posts/default/7249130314944420268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brothersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/01/brother-xl-2600-sewing-machine.html' title='Brother Xl 2600 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S1WuvWBHpSI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/FrtwTLZ-tiQ/s72-c/Brother+Xl+2600+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
