Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a sewing machine for home use and found this one to be absolutely amazing!! It is easy to use (since I am certainly not a novice) and the features are awesome! I would recommend this machine to anyone, even if you've never used a sewing machine before, you can feel like a pro in minutes with this one!!Customer Review: Amazing value and easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this sewing machine SO much! Although I am an expert with my grandmother's old 1950's single stitch machine, I rarely have to refer to the instruction booklet to figure out the options available to me on the Brother XL2600i. The self-contained tool storage area is a great idea - no searching an an hour for the buttonholer if you haven't used it in a while. The machine is also light and portable, so you can keep it in a closet and use it on the kitchen table if you don't have much space. The needle threader and drop in bobbin are a time-saving bonus. Only thing I would change is that the power and foot pedal cords could be a foot or so longer. Overall, I'd give it 4.99 stars out of 5!Customer Review: An excellent buy

This is a GREAT machine for the money - it does everything the average sewer needs and does it well. I bought it because my $700 Elna became too heavy for me - this one is amazingly light. I really like the easy access to backstitching and with a little practice the needle threader works very well. I highly recommend this machineCustomer Review: At first, a great deal!

I purchased this machine to use while visiting my daughter in another state. I used the machine to make a shirt with buttons and an apron out of canvas. I was quite impressed with the quality of the stitches for such an inexpensive machine. It did a great job sewing through multiple layers of canvas and the button holes were perfect! Then, before packing it up, I decided to check out the bobbin case and clean up any lint. It was nearly impossible to remove the plate over the bobbin. The plate is in two parts, one is plastic. I have to admit, that I did not look in the Owner's Manual, but figured removing the plate is a no brainer. (I have used dozens of machines over the years and have been sewing for over 40 years!) Eventually I was able to remove the plates and reassemble everything. I am concerned that routine maintenance on this machine will be a problem. Only time will tell!!Customer Review: Awesome Machine

I bought the machine after going thru the manual worked out the kinks to get familiar what does what.
Im no sewing expert but a novice! The only problem I had was with the threading of the bobby cylinder pin.
The first time I had the wrong tension on the dial to the left zero thru 9. So when I loaded the bobby with like a number low number it wasnt a tight fit and bunch up and gave me an underside garment sew that didn look like a stitch. Plus the thread was coming off too fast and getting cuaght on the thread holder on top. So increase the tension to 9 and threaded another bobby pin and it fixed the problem!
Damm machineworks great for me! I do minor sewing like hemming pants ...
Great machine Love the bells and whistles! It takes patience at first to figure out what does what but a piece of cake after that!
Great product, lov it!
