I've been using my mom's 1970's Singer machine since I was a teen. I've also used other machines over the years but this is the first sewing machine I have ever owned and I absolutely LOVE it! I've had this machine for about 3-4 weeks now. I've been using it about everyday. I've made a quilt and a wool sofa throw for a wedding gift, a patchwork blanket, footed pj's and some baby toys for a baby shower, and some birthday gifts including a purse, neck roll, and a cute flower pin-cushion. Works like a dream!

I would say to be sure and read your manual even if you are an experienced seamstress because all machines are different. I did a lot of research before buying this machine and some people stated problems with the thread binding etc, mine jammed up when I first got it but it turns out I did something wrong. After looking over the manual I fixed the problem with ease and haven't had any problems since. I would say to make sure the bobbin is properly installed and the threads are pulled to the back like the manual states before you start sewing.

Otherwise, the LED light is and bright and the machine comes with several great accessories. The oversized table is nice. The machine is lightweight but sturdy and well made. It's very easy to thread, wind a bobbin, and switch the presser feet. I was worried about the plastic bobbins at first but they have proven to be just fine.

Great machine for beginners and seasoned seamstresses alike. (my sister who never had prior interest in sewing has come over and used it and since purchased her own)

I have an online store, I make purses and clothing using alot of layers and heavy material. I searched at local stores and online for months before choosing this one and I am so glad I found it!!! It does everything I need and the price is competitive in comparison to similar products.
In the last month I have made scarves, purses and baby bibs like crazy! I am enjoying it sooooo much!
This machine was so easy to set up that my 14 year old son figured it out when he decided to make a table cloth for his night stand! I am so proud! It has been a wonderful way for us to spend time together being creative.
The threader is a dream! One thing I noticed right away is how smooth this machine feels when sewing! The stitches go through multiple layers of material like butter!
I have had ZERO problems after numerous projects and I would reccomend this machine to anyone! Novice to seamstress!!! It's great!

I purchased the brother 6000i thinking I was going to be able to sew with ease. Well I was very wrong. I could not get the tension right for any of the fabrics I tried. It would skip stiches and bunch up under the fabric.I did what they said in the manuel but nothing worked. :-(I do like the many features it has, The large table, stitches,the double needle, and the start stop right on the machine. I just wish I could have figured out the tension problem. Hope you have better luck.

I have been sewing for over 30 years and this is currently my FAVORITE of my many machines. I am teaching my girl scouts to sew, and this is their favorite too. Very easy to use. Responsive, great selection of decorative stitches. Easy to adjust tension. So far, not one complaint. (Have owned it for 6 months, and use it weekly.)
