Great machine

I'm very happy with my purchase. I had an issue in the beginning when hemming a stretching tshirt. The material kept getting sucked down and stuck. After i changed the needle to one used when sewing thin, stretching material the issue was solved.
Great starter machine, not very expensive, has a wide variety of stitches and presser feet, including the walking foot. I really liked the thread assisting device, BUT it didn't last long. The filament used to thread the needle is so thin and very delicate and it quit working to thread the needle. It was hard to thread the needle without assistance, so that became a major frustration and I bought a different brand of machine that has an air threader.
Other than the threader not working very long, this is a great machine to learn on. After I got my new machine (different brand) I realized that the Brother is not as smooth as the new one. I realized that the feed dogs were a little uneven and was creating wobbly stitches unless I was diligent about guiding the fabric. As a side note, this could have just been me since I am a beginner sewist....lol.
I do like the machine. At this price point I feel comfortable taking it to quilt classes or letting someone borrow the machine. This machine is more than just a basic machine with lots of possibilities and a wide variety of uses.
The other major frustration I have with the machine is the throat space. I want to make quilts and wall hangings and the narrow space to work with was very frustrating. I did not realize that it would make that much difference but it does.

I liked this machine very much at first. Until i tried doing a straight stitch. 100% unable to do a straight stitch as the bottom stitching looks like a dang birds nest. Can’t do a zigzag stitch as it then knots and locks and tangles together under the presser foot. I am beyond frustrated at this point. Oh! And the bobbin cover is broken and keeps jumping up, it broke due to the knotted thread

I gave it a one because they didn't include the power cord with it. I didn't use my machine right away and when I just set it up ....no way to plug it in...

I went from a Broth XL 3022 that was my mom’s that a learned how to sew on that still sews as if it was brand new, to now the CS7205, I love both machines and to this day still use the XL 3022, but the SC7205 is much more advanced and makes sewing faster and so much harder to mess up the machine it will tell me flat out if I forgot something like oops no bobbin, hey need to put that foot down first; I know simple but sometimes you just forget, cleaning is a breeze, I’m in love with all the different stitches and yes I use them all hard to believe but they are so much fun and with the machine telling what foot I need is so helpful, the LED light I love, it’s so easy to see what I’m doing without extra lights I thought I hate the way the bobbin sits but I have had no jams and it’s so much better then I thought it would be. I tend to sew thick items like jeans and it’s like butter just remember to use the right needle and don’t be afraid to use the walking foot on thicker projects what a difference that made. Over all 10 out of 10. Just because it’s under quilting dose not mean you limited to just that, I love sewing, but I hate quilting I have done it on this machine because a friend wanted a quilted apron, it came out perfect but man I have no passion to quilt, but this machine made it very easy for me quilt.
