Advertised as good for quilting… not!

I’ve used a number of different sewing machines. I’ve had this one since October of 2020. It frustrates me!! I change needle, rethread bobbin and machine, make sure it’s clean and it continues to eat fabric. I wanted to my a single hole needle plate (for quilting) but this is not an option.

This is my first "new" sewing machine

I have been sewing for only 2 years, and been using vintage 1954 to antique 1881 sewing machines. I've made numerous quilts with them, but decided I needed a modern machine that has more than 1 stitch. I've had this machine for three weeks and have in my spare time made appliques for 3 quilts. As a novice sewing person this is an excellent choice.

Disappointed
on June 8, 2020
Posted by: Geewizkid

I was excited to get a new sewing machine to replace my30 years old machine. What a disappointment this one is. The stitches are very uneven and I have tried all of the suggestions in the troubleshooting section of the owners manual. The needle threader only works occasionally and when sewing, it bogs down if the fabric is even slightly thick. The biggest problem is that the guide numbers for the seam width are behind the pressure foot so you have to guess the width and it’s nearly impossible to get a straight seam. It’s such a poor design.

Easiest sewing machine ever
on May 23, 2020

from Cookeville, TN
I bought this machine to replace a 30 year old Sonata by Singer, mainly because I couldn't see to thread it any more. When I started researching, I discovered very quickly all the tasks this particular machine could perform. I've always wanted to take up quilting and am currently working on some projects for our RV. My husband is thrilled that some of his shirts will again have buttons on them because of the button foot.
I love that it has an "automatic" threader which has really helped my old eyes. The diagrams for threading the bobbin and the machine itself are very straightforward. It took me a couple tries to thread it, but now, I have the hang of it. It also took me a couple of tries to get the walking foot attached, but that is more due to me than the machine.
One of the things that I didn't expect to love as much is the ability to not use the foot pedal. My sewing machine is on the counter in my craft room, and while I normally use a drafting chair when I am crafting, with the ability to stand and sew, I find it easier than getting on and off the chair.

Old guy from Ohio
on March 9, 2020
Posted by: bullseye
from northeast Ohio
As a retired computer/communication technician I have been professionally involved and fascinated with electric-mechanical machines since the mid '60's. I had a bunch of white work socks that needed the elastic in the cuff(?) replaced. My hands ache from arthritis so I decided to try a sewing machine. After much research I decided to purchase the Brother CS7205 based on its features and the price, plus previous experience with Brother products. Other than hand-sewing fishing nets and canvas tarps and tents I hadn't any previous experience with sewing. I downloaded the manuals and studied them before the CS7205 was delivered so I felt I was ready to thread-up and go. The manuals were perfect for getting me prepared; easy to read/understand and they completely cover everything I needed to know. A pat on the back to the manual writers and editors for properly preparing me. I was also pleased with all the included accessories; bobbins, tools, sewing feet, etc...
The machine itself is perfect. It performed exactly how I expected to. I was able to install new elastic in my old, expensive, work socks without any help. My socks are size 15 and not readily available so salvaging them was important to me. One size fits all is a lie. My feet are as big as a '58 Cadillac and good socks are not cheap. I am going to continue repairing some shirts, jackets and pants. This has been a positive experience for me and I am very pleased with the machine. I would have rated it five star, but I have nothing to compare it to.
