Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brother XL2600I Sew Advance Sew Affordable 25-Stitch Free-Arm Sewing Machine
Customer Review: A Very Pleased Beginner
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a beginner, so this machine is perfect for me for the basic projects I continue to produce. Feels like a quality product, and I have been pleased with the results. Great machine for beginners or for lighter-duty jobs.
I had read to be careful pulling off the packing tape; I forgot, so a little of the plastic coating peeled, but did not affect the workings of the machine.
The directions were a little difficult for me to follow because the English and Spanish rotate every other paragraph; nevertheless, I figured out how to thread the machine and begin all by myself!
Customer Review: A good first sewing machine
Summary: 4 Stars
I am very new at sewing so decided to purchase this particular model based on the price and excellent reviews. Its simple to use and easy to set up. I needed it to alter my clothes and it does a good job. The instructions manual explains a lot of things when something goes wrong. Plus reading all the reviews helped too.
Overall for the price, its a great machine. I would recommend it if you need to do some light work.
Customer Review: A great machine for the price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little concerned about using the machine, the tension, the bobbin. After reading the other reviews, I took care to follow the instructions (not how I usually just dive in). This machine has worked really well for me. I can hem pants and do the basic simple curtain and pillow projects for the house. My sons JUST HAD TO help me make something the very first day the machine arrived. My six year old was able to operate the machine with VERY CLOSE supervision to sew a straight seam for a doll's dress. I have not quite figured out the different stitches, but I am delighted with this machine for the price. The needle threader is AWESOME. I can remember being irritated when I was a kid and Mom would interrupt my play to thread her needle. Now that I am OLD, I understand WHY she needed my help...and I can do it myself without since the needle threader works so well. If you buy this product, I highly recommend following the instruction manual for the first few times you use.Customer Review: A nice little machine

Light, easy to use, easy to thread, good for light sewing projects that I need to do, not too loudCustomer Review: Affordable, reliable sewing machine
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been so pleased with this sewing machine. Given that it wouldn't take much for me to be impressed since I've been using a 25-year-old machine, this one still has all the features an amateur and advanced sewer would want. I am particularly impressed with the 1-step button-hole maker. It was difficult to find a good machine with a 1-step for under $100, so this was quite a find.
It comes with a great variety of stitches, a (really cool) needle threader, and feels solid when I sew with it. I've used it for a couple of small projects so far, and it's been great. I am glad I made the choice I did!
