Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brother CS6000I 60-Stitch Computerized Free-Arm Sewing Machine with Multiple Stitch Functions
Customer Review: great machine!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for the theatre department for my daughters high school. I wanted something that was easy to use and yet a little more than just "basic". This machine is great! I got to use it for the weekend and I want to get one for myself. Changing the stitches is so easy and is sews very smooth. Love that you can control speed 3 ways, and easy to thread also. Kids at school were able to sit right down and sew. Vig plus is the extra height on the foot if you are using thicker fabric, or multi layers, which they do with costumes. Great machine for the money!Customer Review: Good lightweight sewing machine
Summary: 4 Stars
I used a borrowed Brother CS6000i at a guild quilting workshop and I loved it. I have a back problem and thus can't lift my own home sewing machine. So I was delighted that this lightweight machine has so many features (needle down, speed control, many stitches, etc.). I especially liked the sliding speed control that I could use without using a foot pedal. I used it when doing a blanket stitch at the class and both the blanket stitch and the speed control really worked well in creating the look I wanted on the block I was creating. I decided as a result of the experience I had with the CS6000i, that I would buy one. I was delighted with the quickness with which my order was sent. The CS6000i arrived in excellent condition. I tried it out and everything worked well, including the speed control and the blanket stitch. If I had only one machine I could have, this would be it.
Customer Review: Great for beginners!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first sewing machine I have ever owned, or operated, and I could not be happier. It was very beginner friendly, with CLEAR instructions and diagrams - before opening the box I had no idea what a "presser foot," "bobbin," or pretty much anything else associated with a sewing machine was and I have just completed sewing monkey costumes for my kids for Halloween! I couldn't believe how easy it was to learn to use! I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn to sew!Customer Review: Exceeds my expectations!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using my machine almost every day for over two months now, and I'm still in love with it. It is just as quiet, light, and efficient as I hoped it would be. This is my first digital model, so maybe I'm just overly impressed, but I couldn't imagine getting a better machine for this price. The stitches look even better on fabric than they do on the side of the machine, and I love that you can alter the width and length of every one. It comes with almost any attachment you could possibly need, plus a storage case.
Brother really won me over with this machine!
Customer Review: had to return TWO of these due to defective buttonhole....
Summary: 1 Stars
Very disappointed. I am a seamstress & neither time did the automatic buttonhole maker work. It's computerized so no part to replace, it just ruined 3 different coats I was making. The stitch was wrong, didn't go the right direction, VERY hard to fix a messed up button hole, hard to rip. Very frustrating. Got a refund, new replacement sent only to have an even worse button hole. UGH
My bad luck or faulty product?? If you don't SHIR (which it also won't do well at all) or make button holes, then go ahead, this machine is fine for the price. If you need all the features to work, avoid it.
