Biggest purchase regret
on November 14, 2020

I have a 1034D serger and the 2340 CV, which have been solid workhorses. I looked everywhere for the 3550 when I heard about the double coverstitch. I've had it over 2 years and have yet to get a single line of stitching without skipped stitches. It has ruined everything I've tried to stitch on it. I've followed the tips on the facebook page. I just gave up halfway through a chewed-up pair of athletic shorts and came here to write a review before I throw this piece of junk in the garbage can. I have been sewing for 20 years and have never experienced such frustration. The LED light is laughable, and the presser foot doesn't lift high enough to slide even thin fabrics under it. This thing should never have made it to the market.

Best coverstitch machine

I pre-ordered this machine last year and waited 2 months before it arrived to my dealer and I absolutely love this machine. I'm a first time user of a cover stitch machine and this is one of the best additions to my machine family. The stitches are absolutely professional looking. I highly recommend anyone to purchase this machine for a professional finish and embellishment.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just picked up my new cover stitch machine last week. I put in a hem in a pair of yoga pants with the triple stitch and it looks lovely. I highly recommend this new machine for the triple cover stitch and the easy release at the end of your sewing. Well worth the extra dollars.

Very versitile machine

I used my 3550 to sew scraps of material onto the back of an old curtain to make pockets for a purse I was making. Putting different colors on each spool made for a very pretty accent to the fabric. However, like a lot of Brother products there isn't enough information on how to use the various accessories.

A must have

If you are looking for a cover stitch machine this is the one you need. The triple cover stitch is a nice decorative feature along with easy threading and the free-arm sewing. The instructional video is very detailed on how to use the machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fiddle

This machine needs A LOT of fiddling around to get a good stitch on a sample. When you finally get a good sample and use the machine on your garment, you have to fiddle with it again after you take the messy stitches out. This machine is so frustrating to use that it takes the joy out of sewing.
