Customer Reviews
- One major limitation
This is a great machine for the price. I am teaching my teenage daughter to sew and she is turned off by my clunky old Singer. So I keep that around for the tough jobs and use this Brother Xl 2600I Sewing Machine 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.

- Brother Service/Warranty is useless, but Amazon made it right.
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.
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.

- Love it!.
The first one I got through Amazon broke half way through my first project. I requested an exchange through Amazon and had my new Brother Xl 2600I Sewing Machine 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.
