Brother LS-2125 Sewing Machine

I'm usually a hard-core Singer fanatic, but I had the opportunity to use this model extensively for a week long period. I was doing some last minute costumes for a church Christmas play and my usual sewing machine was at the shop getting a standard, scheduled deep cleaning. I agreed to  work on the project late in the game and used this sewing machine instead of my usual machine. It doesn't have all the bells & whistles of some of the fancier, more expensive models, but it really got the job done effectively. It's really easy to thread, it sews very smoothly, its relatively easy to move between kinds of stitches. This machine is super easy to fill new bobbins with. I never could get the stretch stitches to work though. I looked at the users manual and had it on the right settings, but it just kept doing the regular stitches. I may not have been super patient with it in my haste to get 17 costumes done in a week. Overall it has all the basics to make a great machine for a beginner so as not to overwhelm with tons of functions. But its also a good, solid machine for an advanced seamstress who would only use it occassionally as opposed to an all the use machine.
