Frustrating little machine
on February 21, 2023
Posted by: None
from Boca Raton, Florida
I sew every day and sometimes I'm in Florida which is not my home. I wanted to buy a good used machine but all that I found on line had to be shipped. I didn't want to wait for one to come and I didn't want to pay for the shipping so I decided to go buy a small inexpensive one (bad choice).
This little machine sews we'll. Learning to thread it wasn't fun, it has the strangest tension I've ever seen. Once you get past that all is well. That's until you begin to see. When you raise the needle be prepared to hold the upper thread because it will pull out of the needle (that's every time). The thread has to be really long to keep from pulling out. Then when you finish sewing the seam you have this long thread that needs to be cut off and thrown away. That ends up being a lot of thread going into the trash. Thread, by the way is pretty expensive these days and ends up being a Hugh waist! It is so frustrating trying to keep the thread from pulling out of the needle that I'm afraid it will stop a new sewer from going any farther and just plain thinking that sewing is not for them.
If not for the thread situation it would be an okay beginner machine but I don't recommend anyone buying this particular model. I think I'm taking mine back to the store for a different model.

[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!

[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.

MZ53 Sewing Machine

from Citrus Heights, CA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am over the moon with my experience using the MZ53 Sewing machine. It's great for those of us who are only just beginning and learning to sew as well as those who are more experienced. I found the machine to be user friendly with easy to read instructions. It comes with a finger gaurd for safety and two floral decorative faceplates. A wonderful choice for every day sewing or mending. Comes in handy for my patchwork and quilting!

Very easy to use and start sewing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife has used this Brother MZ53 Sewing Machine a few times and she likes uaing it. She doesn't have a lot of experience using sewing machines but this was easy to use and had no issues. My son always needs his baseball pants cut shorted and my wife used to do it by hand. She was able to sew my sons pants with this machine so easily that she ended up doing a few others that she hadn't done. The printed pattern on the machine makes it easy to select the right stitch patter. The included accessories will come in handy when she fixes other clothes that she would normally take to my mom to fix. She feels she can do it herself with this machine. She is still playing around with it and thinks she can personalize my sons baseball gear with his initials. She still needs to read the instructions on this but feels very confident because the machine is very comfortable and easy to use. My wife is very exited and eagered to learn to do more with this sewing machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A few weeks ago I got the Brother - Brother MZ53 Sewing Machine, with 53 Built-in Sewing Stitches and it's amazing. You can do all kinds of different stitches, use this for buttons and zippers. It's easy to learn, so can be for beginner to expert. A great value for you buck. It is easy to pick up as it is lite weight and that is something I look for. That is a 5 Star rating for me! Well worth the money. Brother Brand is the way to go!!
