Simple for beginners

My daughter has been watching videos about buying thrift store clothes and turning them into something different. My machine has too many options so I thought this would be perfect for her. It was simple to set up and there were multiple YT videos for her to watch on how to set up and use. It's perfect for a beginner especially with the helpful YT videos. My daughter is already working on a dress from a sweater she bought at the thrift store and fabric we purchased. I think all kids should learn to sew!!

I received the Brother RLX3817A sewing machine today. It is a very nice sewing machine. I have been sewing for many years and wanted a lightweight machine. This is just what I needed. It was very easy to thread and I would recommend this model for beginners and even for children to learn to sew.

Great Machine for and even Greater Value

I have always wanted a sewing machine but have never actually gone through with the purchase because of the price. But I can tell you this machine is worth every penny. The price is amazing and the quality blew me away. As a novice sewer I was a little worried that I would know how to set up the machine but from me taking the machine out of the box to me sewing only took about 15 minutes. I absolutely love this machine and can barley tell it’s refurbished!

I have always wanted to quilt. So finally I bought a machine to try. It was a brothers as well but more expensive. It broke down within three months so I got this cheaper one. It’s great! I absolutely love it. I was able to give up on sewing due to the last machine being such a nightmare. This one being a cheaper model sews so good. I love it. It’s easy to operate. I recommend it to anyone.

Great for Beginners

I am a beginner at sewing and wanted a sewing machine to get started. I purchased this machine in December and have been using it every weekend for simple small products. Comes with easy setup instructions. The machine does well with sewing multiple fabrics together with ease. I am presently surprised with this machine and you cannot tell the difference between new or refurbished. So far I have made fabric tote bags out of duck cloth, a cotton baby quilt, terry cloth makeup pads, and polyester infinity scarves. I recommend this machine (new or refurbished) as it’s a great value for beginners.

Great beginner-friendly machine

This machine is reliable and surprisingly punchy when it comes to getting through thick layers of fabric. Great stitch selection and easy to use, love the drop-in bobbin. My only critique is that the needle easily becomes unthreaded if you forget to hold the tail when you begin sewing.
