first machine
on May 21, 2023
Posted by: marc
from Ione, WA
At 70 years old and with zero experience in sewing I purchased this machine and watched a few videos on line. I then successfully made a dozen different curtains and storage bags for an RV conversion I was building. All came out fine, though details did improve over the project after the first two or three attempts. I've since used it for clothing repair and a few other projects. The machine was easy to use and accessories were readily available. I have no way to compare this to other options but as a total novice I've been delighted with the purchase and the ease of set up and use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this sewing machine. I’m not a professional I just needed one that I could use once in a while or on a project bases. I had to watch YouTube videos on how to start. Good news is that it’s easy to understand and tread. I really enjoy the smoothness of it and how fast it can go. If you are looking for one do try this one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would consider myself to have a good amount of knowledge when it comes to sewing machines. I read the directions and set up the machine. I found the directions to be easy to read and very helpful. I put thread through needle and again used the directions for reference. I practiced on a few pieces of fabric and I was good to go! This would make a great machine for a beginner!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very useful and necessary

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent quality product, its use is really easy and very comfortable, especially for unforeseen events with everyday clothes and even for my children's uniforms who are not so careful. It is a very versatile machine in different types of fabrics, its pedal is very easy to control and in general it is very light and easy to load and manipulate. It comes with all the necessary accessories for every type of job. The light on the sewing needle greatly facilitates vision. I like that it includes up to 53 different types of sewing designs which allows me to play with the different designs. It's great that it includes a protective cover. It really is something very necessary at home and I highly recommend it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy, portable, surprisingly strong
on September 24, 2023
Posted by: AimeeMade

This is a dandy little machine! I picked it up at a thrift store as an easy-peasy portable mechanical (I sew primary on vintage machines which are very heavy) and I find myself selecting this one to sew with over and over! I’ve made clothes, pieced quilts, mended clothing. It’s just very easy. It’s surprisingly powerful, although I wouldn’t recommend it for lots of bag- or wallet-making, and the harp space is smaller, so I wouldn’t attempt to FMQ a quilt (although I plan to try it for “quilt as you go” squares!)
Another reviewer remarked that you have to hold the threads when you start, and snip threads when you end. I hadn’t even noticed; as a vintage machine user that’s standard “muscle memory”. The amount of thread you might lose from those steps is inconsequential.
I own several of the most sought-after vintage Singers and Kenmores, yet I reach for the MZ53 all the time.That said, I don’t anticipate handing this machine down as an heirloom; the gears won’t last as long as those of an all-metal machine. Also, it is a little annoying that I can’t open up the entire machine easily to fully clean and maintain (I’m 100% DIY on that). But for the time being, very well done, Brother!

Great Sewing Machine; Auto-threader COMPLICATED
on August 15, 2024
Posted by: RIJV
from RI
I LOVE Brother sewing machines, but have one major issue with this one. I need, and want to use, the AUTO-THREADER but have been unable to use it because I can't figure out HOW it works. I've been threading the needle manually. The tiny illustration provided in the instructions is not helpful at all. I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me clearer instructions so that I can use the auto-threader. Thank You.

Still trying to figure out how to access all the second round of stitches on the dial. I’m trying to figure it out in between crochet projects. Does anyone know how? Thanks
