I decided to purchase a sewing machine to make mask for myself and family I chose the Brother sewing machine and it's working out just fine for me . Practice makes perfect and the Brother sewing machine is easy to use. So yeah I'm enjoying using it.
I bought this machine while on a trip to the fabric store. I had just started to sew again after hearing the news that my first grandchild was on his way. I still had my old machine, but wanted a new one that could do more. So far this machine works like a dream. #1 Needle threader (WOW). The two needle positions are great for top-stitching. I love how easy it is to make button holes. I also used a twin needle for the first time with it. Good solid machine.
I've had Singer machines my whole life. But I'm a convert to Brother sewing machines now. Especially love the self threading feature. I'm 65 and my eyes aren't like they once were. Threading the needle was getting difficult for me. Now it's no problem. I also appreciate the easy to use manual with pictures and the DVD was also very helpful. I made curtains for the little windows in the master bedroom. There are 3 windows that measure about 22 inches by 22 inches.
I'm new to sewing and this machine is perfect for my skill level. It comes with everything I needed to begin. Instructions were easy to follow. My 12 and eight year old loved experimenting with the different stitches. Would definitely recommend!
For a amateur bag maker is the perfect sewing machine...
Years ago, I purchased a refurbished Brother NX450, to provide some of the nicer bells and whistles my old Kenmore workhorse didn't have. When I lived out of the country for a time, my NX450 went with me. On the occasions I came home, I hated not having a machine to work with. Browsing the Brother site, I found the SC9500. It had most of the key features I was familiar with on my NX450, such as the drop-in bobbin; push-button reverse; a large variety of stitches; and the one-step buttonhole. The threader was not nearly as nice as that on my NX450, and it didn't have the automatic thread cutter, but, as it was less than half the price of the NX model, I couldn't complain too loudly! Sewing with it, I discovered that it handles most things -- including garment-weight leather -- with ease. I did have a few issues with lighter weight, slippery fabrics such as a stretch satin and devore velvet, but they were eventually overcome by changing a needle, swapping to the walking foot, and a little bit of help from some temporary adhesive. The SC9500 currently lives in a small carry-on, occasionally pressed into service as a travel machine. At 12 lbs., it's not exactly light, but it's not nearly as hefty as my NX450, and fits nicely into the roll-aboard. It has served very well, ensuring I have the capability to repair my projects as necessary on the road.
I haven't had the machine long, and to be honest, the family has kept me running, but the times that I have used the machine, it worked great and I was able to complete a few doll outfits before visiting grandkids. Should have taken it with me! Actually, my husband likes to try new things so he sat down and helped make some of the outfits and he had no trouble. It was his first time sewing. That was good since if something goes wrong he hears his name; he's the mechanical sort unlike me. I haven't used a lot of the stitches yet, but what I used worked well and the dvd that came with it was very helpful. Also, the screen prompts are very helpful. I feel it was worth the price we paid.
I am totally impressed with this machine it really works good it is light weight and easy to move and is real quiet sews really smooth. the only thing I don't like is the position of the spool peg the thread does not stay in place to good other than that I love the machine and would highly recommend it.
The bobbin winding set up is not the best - The instructions are lacking. They are poorly organized and you have to look in 3 different place to get all the info you need. This is not a machine for a novice sewer.
My daughter bought my machine as a gift about 2 years ago. I've been sewing for almost 50 years and wanted a machine specifically designed for quilting with all the special stitches. Within 2 months, the self threader broke. Within a matter of a few weeks, the "quiet" machine was anything but quiet whenever I was sewing fabric heavier than cotton. Tension became a problem that could take as much as a half hour to find the right combination of tension, thread, and needle size. The presser feet are a combination of metal and plastic. Within a year of purchase, I had to replace one of the feet as the plastic cracked and the thread kept getting caught. Anytime I need to stitch through four layers of fabric or across a seam, there's simply not enough power. I have to manually turn the hand crank very slowly to get the needle to puncture the fabric. The quilting table is a joke. Because the machine is nothing but plastic, it "travels" across the table top. There's not enough weight to hold it in place for lengthy sewing sessions. You have to keep pulling it back towards yourself. When this happens, the legs on the table collapse and have to be pulled back out. I sew all my Christmas and occasion gifts for people. This year I started in August and still won't be done as I've spent more time fixing problems with the machine than actually sewing. I took it to a Brother dealer for repairs. I was told it would be ready in a week. Two weeks later I still didn't have my machine and when I called to enquire, their phone message informed me they were out of town and wouldn't be open for yet another 4 days. They had my machine for 3 weeks, charged half of what the machine cost and didn't repair anything. The needle threader is the same as when I took it in. The thumping and grinding noises are still there and the constant jamming of fabric and thread is still happening. I've had to give up on using embroidery threads for stippling my quilts as I have to tear out half of what gets sewn because of constant looping and jamming. For those that don't know, $9.00 a spool for embroidery thread is a bit costly to be throwing away when it's yards at a time. Apparently the quality of Brother dealers is no better than the quality of the machine. I had planned to buy a Dream Weaver eventually but now I just don't want anything associated with Brother branding. This machine barely makes it as a learning machine for beginners. Frankly, I think the price is too steep for anyone who will not be able to use the so-called features as the machine needs to actually work in order to use features.
