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,...

When I needed a sewing machine that would perform, but I did not have the budget, this was a great value for the money.  I purchased this sewing machine. I am 100% pleased!  I do not have the extra money to spend on one of those pricey dream sewing machines.  I also wanted a reliable machine that did not cost a lot of money.

It has enough power to mend jeans and quilts.  I have sewn jackets and even created doggy sweaters for my dogs.  It is light enough that I can put it away when done, and take it out when needed.  It is simple to use and I have had no problems with reliability. 

I purchased this product from amazon early last year and have used it countless times since. I even keep it on my desk for random times I feel like sewing. It even inspired me to learn how to construct clothing!

PROS:
- easy stitch switching dial
- easy threading (with some guidance)
- handy reverse stitch lever
- handy compartment in front to store things in (and is removable)
- low priced (I got mine for $60)
- lightweight/ semi small/medium sized

CONS:
- instruction booklet was not very good at explaining how to thread the bobbin.
- have to pull out the top thread at least 6 inches before...

I purchased this machine as a replacement for one that had just broken down. I have done some very heavy sewing on this machine, and it has performed exceptionally well.

I have used it to make a sun screen enclouser for a 24 foot pontoon boat, at to cover seats in  a house boat using heavy weight terry cloth. I have also sewn, very light netting, and heavy denim like fabric, and some fake fur.

 For the price I really don't feel that you can beat this machine.

My husband bought this Brother Sewing machine for me for Christmas almost two years ago and I was never really impressed with the quality of stitching that it offered.  I know that the price range was around $80, which is not too much for a sewing maching! I was happy about the price but realized I got what I paid for.  So far I have had problems underneath with the needle hitting or scraping rather, the metel bobin underneath.  Sometimes I would randomly get stitching that would come out looking grey...like it was twisted between metal pieces or rubbed agains something black.  I would have...

This machine is actually the first one that i had ever actually gone out and bought for myself, as my others were hand-me-downs from family members when they had bought a new one.  i love the different patterns that are available on it for edging and embroidering if you want to.  It's a great machine for crafting and home repairing for clothing and the like.  The Brother line is actually ne that I used when i worked for a local dry cleaning business here in our area.  They asked me which brand i preffered and that iswhat they bought.

 One christmas i started early in the year to make all of...

This sewing machine is a good machine to learn on, as long as it does what it's supposed to do.  For me, the thread tension was totally lost, so I ended up having to hold the spool with one hand while I secured the fabric being sewn with the other, which would not be easy for a beginner.  Also, sometimes the machine would like to eat the thread and make messy stitches.  Now, I only use the machine for sewing on zippers and using the tight zigzag stitch...only stitches that cannot be seen on the finished product.  I have since bought better quality machines.

On the good side, the machine features...

i am not a profesional sewing person, but a few years ago i desided i wanted to start to learn to sew.i bought a brother ls2125 , it does allot of things i was not familiar with , i didnt take any lessons on how to use this machine or how to sew. i just read the book that it came with and a few times called the company to ask questions , i found a few people that were very nice to talk to a person who had no idea what they were doing and that is like gold to me when i pay money for something and someone from the company is willing to help me that is something.  any way i learnd to sew clothes...
