Customer Reivews

- This machine was received promptly 
It says it is a 45 stitch machine. very misleading. 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).  One more thing that drove me nuts...
Brother Xl 5600 Sewing Machine 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.  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.

- The Best Embroidery/Sewing Machine for the money!

I bought my Brother in April and have been sewing on it daily for at least 3 hours every day since then. 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 Brother Se350 Computerized Embroidery And Sewing Machine 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.

- Small but fun

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 Brother Se350 Computerized Embroidery And Sewing Machine.  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.  Wish the bobbin cover did not remove completely as it is tiny and easy to misplace or gets hidden under your project.  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.

Customer Reviews

- Great sewing machine value

Tension was perfect right out of the box. It is plastic cased, so I am treating it gingerly compared to the hefty metal machine on which I learned to sew. Very easy to thread and wind bobbins. The manual has very clear illustrations. However, Brother Ls 1520 Sewing Machine requires some flipping through as each series of steps is printed in several languages. Very enjoyable, and I look forward to using it. I hope with care it lasts a good long time.

- Not worth the money

Brother Ls 1520 Sewing Machine worked for a few days. it was out of warranty by the time I started to use it. The manual says that it has no user serviceable parts. So had to pay $50 just to get it fixed. Spend more and buy a better quality machine. The authorized service center guy told me these type of cheap machines break very frequently. Stay away!

- Pros and Cons - You Decide

I bought Brother Cs 8072 Sewing Machine 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.

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.

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, Brother Cs 8072 Sewing Machine does not like cheap thread.

Customer Review

- Don't let the low price fool you. This is a great machine!

Brother Cs6000I 60 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine 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.

- Good bargain - Nice machine

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. Brother Cs6000I 60 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine 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.

Customer Reviews

- Her's what my wife said

I bought this Brother machine to replace an old Singer machine that wore out it's gears. The Brother Brother Sewing Machine Ce 5000Prw  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.

- Great purchase!

We purchased a refurbished Brother Sewing Machine 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.  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  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  for that Brother Sewing Machine Ce 5000Prw is quite easy and fun to use.

Customer Reviews

- Better than anything for the price

I shopped extensively before buying this Brother Project Runway Sewing 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. It quite literally makes sewing easier.

- So far, Quite an impressive machine

I bought Brother Project Runway Sewing Machine 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.  Brother Project Runway Sewing Machine 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.  The bobbin is a top-drop-in. No more bringing up the loop, just put in and sew.

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.

Customer Reviews

- Great user friendly sewing machine

I recieved my new Brother Cs 80 Computerized Sewing Machine yesterday and out of the box it works great. 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

- The machine is just alright

Brother Cs 80 Computerized Sewing Machine 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.

- Practical and User-Friendly

This sewing machine was given to me for my birthday. I had never touched a sewing machine 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. Brother Cs 80 Computerized Sewing Machine 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.

Customer Reviews

- Great sewing machine for the price range.

I teach sewing lessons in Spring Texas. 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.

- Good updated machine.

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 Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine. 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.

- A Fashion designer on a budget's DREAM

Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine has been nothing but amazing for the past six months I have been useing it. I have made so many things with this. Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine is really good at sewing thick fabrics. The machine is heavy duty yet so light. This machine is just way beyond worth the price. Overall this machine is great and i have had many sewing machine horror storys that cost 2-3 times this.

Customer Reviews

- awesome for a first-timer

I make fashions for myself and others. However, I've secretly feared " Brother 1034D 3 4 Thread Serger  " 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.

- GREAT instructions. so far so good

I was afraid of sergers, never having operated one, even though I have sewed for decades and own a sewing machine. The deal on Brother 1034D 3 4 Thread Serger 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. Brother 1034D 3 4 Thread Serger  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.

Customer Reviews

- Delightful machine, Super easy to use

This machine is very similar to the popular Brother Es 2000 Sewing Machine that's sold both here in Amazon and in Wal-Mart. 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.

- Don't let the low price fool you! This machine is great!

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, Brother Es 2000 Sewing 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. 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.

Customer Reviews

- Good updated machine.

Earlier this year I was given my first machine. 35 yr old Viking. 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 Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine. 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.

- A Fashion designer on a budget's DREAM

This Brother Ce 4000 Sewing Machine 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.

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.

Customer Reviews

- Here’s what my wife said.

I bought this Brother Ce5000 Project Runway Edition Sewing 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.

- Great purchase!

We purchased a refurbished Brother Ce5000 Project Runway Edition Sewing Machine, 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%

- 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 (or at least I tell him they're old) - for that this machine is quite easy and fun to use.

Customer Reviews

- Great Basic Machine!

I replaced my Singer with this machine and I am more than happy with it. The Singer machine caused me problems from day one on. Contrary to the Singer the Brother Xl 2230 Sewing Machine 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.

- More than I expected

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 Brother Xl 2230 Sewing Machine 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. Brother Xl 2230 Sewing Machine 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.

Customer Reviews

- Easy to operate!!

It was very easy to use right out of the box. The screen gives you all of the directions. I wish that the description said that it comes with a hoop, I bought one with my machine and it came with the medium hoop. If you are looking to do Disney designs -- Brother Pe 700 Embroidery Machine will only work with "The Taste of Disney" memory card.

- Absolutely LOVE it!!

Bought Brother Pe 700 Embroidery Machine to replace an older PE150 and am thrilled with it. Great little upgrades to the older model and love the larger embroidery area. Embroidery quality is fantastic for an inexpensive home machine. Could not recommend more highly! great product, i am very satisfied. I recommend this product to everyone interested.

Customer Reviews

- Don't let the low price fool you. This is a great machine!

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.

- Pros and Cons - You Decide

I bought Brother 60 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine Cs 6000I 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.

- Good bargain - Nice machine,

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 Brother 60 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine Cs 6000I, 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.
