Brother LS-2125i 10-Stitch Portable Sewing Machine

Love it. I grew up in Australia and got a D- on my home ec test because i couldnt wrap my brain around threading the machine! I borrowed another persons machine a few years back to try and give it another go, it was a terrible disaster, too much to figure out! Then i said- well if i buy my own- then ill be forced to work it out because i spent the money. I did lots of research and everyone said great things about this 'beginner' machine. I sat myself down, read and reread the instructions and in one hour I had threaded the machine all by myself! Not just that, but thanks to the diagram on the actual machine, i now thread it without instructions and it only takes me a few minutes! I conquered my fear and in a few weeks have made three purses and two dresses! Dont give up and get this great, affordable, easy to understand machine, its great! ps, my sister just bought one on my recommendation

this is my second Brother machine. It is light weight and easy to work with. I would recommend this machine for someone just learning to sew or someone more advanced.

Bought this machine about 6 years ago - has been just great, no problems with anything. for 3 years I used it to make dresses and shorts for my Church to take to Nicaragua, the past couple years I have been repairing costumes . Just this past week it stopped sewing, but for all that it has been through in the last 6 year, I can not complain. Can't decide if I should get this one again or go up to the XL 2600i, but as for this machine it has been great and a good investment for the price

I haven't made many things as I just recently purchased this machine but I like the way the bobbin is inserted and easy way the needles can be changed. I have a digital machine besides this one and I use this much more because it's easier to thread and can make the stitches I use often with less adjusting.

I just need a machine to make curtains, pillows, hems and minor repairs to clothing. I am not a big sewer. I didn't want to spend a lot of money. This machine does what I need and more at a great price. I have not had it long. I have made two pairs of curtains already and it works very well. It was very easy to get up and running. It doesn't appear to be as sturdy as my last machine which was almost 35 years old when it gave out. It is made with thinner plastic. The pedal concerns me the most in terms of how long it might last. We shall see how it holds up. It is nice and light which is good for putting it away on the closet shelf when not in use.

I wanted a machine that was not computerized with simple instructions and limited stiches and that it was I received. I am very pleased with this Brother sewing machine - the accesssories are great and the bobbin is easy to set up if you follow the instructions closely.

Replaced an older model Brother with this one. Good value for the price. Does a nice job, easy to use, lightweight. A nice portable machine.

I bought this for my daughter for xmas. When I ordered it they said it would arrive before xmas and then I started getting emails that it would not arrive until the 29th. I almost went out and got a different one but decided to wait. The sewing machine did arrive before xmas. I BOUGHT THIS FOR 86.00 AND THEN LESS THAN A MONTH IT GOES DOWN TO 67.00 WOULD BE NICE TO GET MY 18.00 DIFFERENCE BACK BUT NOT.

The machine does what it says and for the price that is a whole lot. For a beginner, this machine is just right to get all the mending and simple sewing done with a little extra. The only downside is the loud hollow-like sound while sewing which could be due to the budget materials used to manufacture the item.

I bought this machine because I was in college and needed something basic and cheap. It turned out to be more hassle and cause more problems than its worth. The bobbin gets stuck and jams constantly, no matter how thin the fabric I'm sewing. It usually gets stuck on the first stitches I sew, ripping and shredding the fabric. I would recommend saving some more money and buying a sewing machine that actually does its job.
