Brother CS7205 Computerized Sewing Machine with Wide Table, 150 Built-in Stitches, 11 Included Sewing Feet and 6-Piece Premium Sewing Thread Pack

I’m a beginner & purchased the brother cs 7205, I love it! Easy to figure out, the manual & video are so helpful. It sews beautifully. I’ve had 0 issues! The one thing I didn’t notice when I purchased was that it embroidery's only the block font. I wish I would have bought the one with more font options and that has an app for my computer so that I can send projects to the machine. That’ll be my next machine. I highly recommend this Brother sewing machine!

It a good little machine. Perfect to carry to quilt or sewing groups

I went from a Broth XL 3022 that was my mom’s that a learned how to sew on that still sews as if it was brand new, to now the CS7205, I love both machines and to this day still use the XL 3022, but the SC7205 is much more advanced and makes sewing faster and so much harder to mess up the machine it will tell me flat out if I forgot something like oops no bobbin, hey need to put that foot down first; I know simple but sometimes you just forget, cleaning is a breeze, I’m in love with all the different stitches and yes I use them all hard to believe but they are so much fun and with the machine telling what foot I need is so helpful, the LED light I love, it’s so easy to see what I’m doing without extra lights I thought I hate the way the bobbin sits but I have had no jams and it’s so much better then I thought it would be. I tend to sew thick items like jeans and it’s like butter just remember to use the right needle and don’t be afraid to use the walking foot on thicker projects what a difference that made. Over all 10 out of 10. Just because it’s under quilting dose not mean you limited to just that, I love sewing, but I hate quilting I have done it on this machine because a friend wanted a quilted apron, it came out perfect but man I have no passion to quilt, but this machine made it very easy for me quilt.

I bought this machine to replace a 30 year old Sonata by Singer, mainly because I couldn't see to thread it any more. When I started researching, I discovered very quickly all the tasks this particular machine could perform. I've always wanted to take up quilting and am currently working on some projects for our RV. My husband is thrilled that some of his shirts will again have buttons on them because of the button foot. I love that it has an "automatic" threader which has really helped my old eyes. The diagrams for threading the bobbin and the machine itself are very straightforward. It took me a couple tries to thread it, but now, I have the hang of it. It also took me a couple of tries to get the walking foot attached, but that is more due to me than the machine. One of the things that I didn't expect to love as much is the ability to not use the foot pedal. My sewing machine is on the counter in my craft room, and while I normally use a drafting chair when I am crafting, with the ability to stand and sew, I find it easier than getting on and off the chair.

Love this machine! I'm a beginning quilter and this has many of the bells and whistles of the more expensive machines that my friends have. I've just completed stitch in a ditch quilting of a wall hanging and it did a great job aside from operator error (me).

As a retired computer/communication technician I have been professionally involved and fascinated with electric-mechanical machines since the mid '60's. I had a bunch of white work socks that needed the elastic in the cuff(?) replaced. My hands ache from arthritis so I decided to try a sewing machine. After much research I decided to purchase the Brother CS7205 based on its features and the price, plus previous experience with Brother products. Other than hand-sewing fishing nets and canvas tarps and tents I hadn't any previous experience with sewing. I downloaded the manuals and studied them before the CS7205 was delivered so I felt I was ready to thread-up and go. The manuals were perfect for getting me prepared; easy to read/understand and they completely cover everything I needed to know. A pat on the back to the manual writers and editors for properly preparing me. I was also pleased with all the included accessories; bobbins, tools, sewing feet, etc... The machine itself is perfect. It performed exactly how I expected to. I was able to install new elastic in my old, expensive, work socks without any help. My socks are size 15 and not readily available so salvaging them was important to me. One size fits all is a lie. My feet are as big as a '58 Cadillac and good socks are not cheap. I am going to continue repairing some shirts, jackets and pants. This has been a positive experience for me and I am very pleased with the machine. I would have rated it five star, but I have nothing to compare it to.

My husband bought this machine for me I have another very similar one but not as many stitches and I like how this machine tells you the foot you need per stitch. I am make a dress for my granddaughter I am using the flower stitch on the collar and sleeve cuffs the fabric is blue gingham with daisy embroidered flowers. I am enjoying the machine,my only complaint is the needle threader is kind of a pain I do wish the machine was a bit heavier so won't move around when doing heavier projects.and wish the throat was larger for quilting

Overall I am happy so far with my CS7205. It is replacing a Brother Project Runway Innovis 40 that I loved. I still struggle with the needle threading feature, so difficult to get right each time but this feature is important to my old eyes. I have many more of the stitches to experiment with but I am determined to keep at it. The machine is lightweight and I like the many stitch and speed options. I believe it's a good value for the price on a new, unused machine.

Great starter machine, not very expensive, has a wide variety of stitches and presser feet, including the walking foot. I really liked the thread assisting device, BUT it didn't last long. The filament used to thread the needle is so thin and very delicate and it quit working to thread the needle. It was hard to thread the needle without assistance, so that became a major frustration and I bought a different brand of machine that has an air threader. Other than the threader not working very long, this is a great machine to learn on. After I got my new machine (different brand) I realized that the Brother is not as smooth as the new one. I realized that the feed dogs were a little uneven and was creating wobbly stitches unless I was diligent about guiding the fabric. As a side note, this could have just been me since I am a beginner sewist....lol. I do like the machine. At this price point I feel comfortable taking it to quilt classes or letting someone borrow the machine. This machine is more than just a basic machine with lots of possibilities and a wide variety of uses. The other major frustration I have with the machine is the throat space. I want to make quilts and wall hangings and the narrow space to work with was very frustrating. I did not realize that it would make that much difference but it does.

I was excited to get a new sewing machine to replace my30 years old machine. What a disappointment this one is. The stitches are very uneven and I have tried all of the suggestions in the troubleshooting section of the owners manual. The needle threader only works occasionally and when sewing, it bogs down if the fabric is even slightly thick. The biggest problem is that the guide numbers for the seam width are behind the pressure foot so you have to guess the width and it’s nearly impossible to get a straight seam. It’s such a poor design.
