Brother XL2230 31-Stitch Function Free-Arm Sewing Machine With 11 Built-In Stitches Review

Brother XL2230 31-Stitch Function Free-Arm Sewing Machine With 11 Built-In StitchesWe ordered 7 of these machines for our school sewing class, and each machine is in use approximately 1-2 hours per week.Upon receipt, one of the machines would not work, and we received a replacement.We have now been using the machines for about 6 weeks, and have consistently had problems with the bobbin casing dislocating and causing the needle to jam or break.The sewing instructor, who has extensive sewing experience, used the word temperamental to describe them and said that they are a nightmare for the frustrated students attempting to learn to sew.They were reasonably priced, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Brother XL-3750 Convertible Free-Arm Sewing Machine with Quilting Features Review

Brother XL-3750 Convertible Free-Arm Sewing Machine with Quilting FeaturesIts been about 12 years since I have sewed (on a borrowed machine)... I purchased this machine in Feb and it was so easy to set up and use.. I am about halfway done a baby quilt and have really enjoyed sewing again.I think that if the machine hadn't worked so nicely I would have been frustrated.I haven't sewn enough to really know how to fix problems.The instruction manual was easy to follow and at one point when the tension wasn't right, the manual provided me what I needed to fix it....I have a friend who sews regularly who recommended this to me and I have been exremely happy.....
