My first computerized machine and I love it!
on April 3, 2025
Posted by: Grace W
from Austin, TX
I'm very happy with this machine. It's my first computerized sewing machine, so it takes a little getting used to. I love how slow and steady the stitches can go when you're in a tricky spot. I love all the different choices of stitches that it has. The automatic threading contraption is really nice at my age.
The one thing that I kind of feel "meh" about is the automatic buttonhole. Don't get me wrong, it's great if you are actually sewing on a button along with the buttonhole. But sometimes you need to do a buttonhole (like for a drawstring) and you don't have a button for it, so it makes it difficult to figure out the correct size for the buttonhole. And, there is no way to switch and just do a manual 4-step button hole (for example). That would be a nice addition - the option to do a manual 4-step button hole. Yes, you could do it manually like really from scratch, but no one wants to have to do that, lol.
I have not had any issues working with denim or other thick fabrics. Denim is actually my favorite to work with which is why I wanted a "heavy duty" machine, for all those layers. I would never force any sewing machine to power through a bunch of thick layers on it's own motor power, though - I usually hand-crank the needle through those areas myself.
I don't love the "overcast" stitches on this machine and so I've been using my serger to neaten fabric edges. I have found that for more flimsy fabrics, the overcast stitches pull the edge of the fabric in really tight which then makes your pattern piece smaller, and I don't want to have to think too hard about what my new seam allowances should be, lol. Not a huge deal or even a deal breaker - most (all?) machines are like this.
But like I said, I really am fond of this machine and am happy I purchased it. I hope it lasts for years and years. I've had it for a few months now and have done at least a half dozen projects with it ranging from tote bags to evening wear. So far so good!

Great Machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product.
This sewing machine is very well made. It has a lot packed into a small machine. It was easy to set up. The user manual was very clear to understand too. I like that the screen is easy to use. Changing stitches is a breeze with this machine. The lines it creates are straight and the needle moves accurately. Such a wonderful sewing machine. The dust cover is a nice touch.

Heavy Duty Sewing machine

from Timberlake, NC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This sewing machine is strong and able to easily stitch with denim fabrics which is usually difficult for me. Easy to use. great settings. Beginner friendly if you have never sewn before. Strong and mighty but does not take up too much space.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Sewing Machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Brother in exchange for my honest review. I having been using sewing machines at work and home for 15+ years. I'm impressed with how easy the setup was for my Brother - Strong & Tough. It sews smooth and the treadle is fidgety, which is a plus. I would recommend this sewing machine for beginner to experienced sewers.

The best gift!!!

Pedí está máquina de coser como regalo de cumpleaños en mi deseo de aprender algo nuevo. Busque múltiples opciones, algunas bastante llamativas, pero reconociendo mi estado de super principiante, opté por un modelo que me pareció fuerte y sencillo, ideal para aprender. recibí la máquina de coser en casa y me enamoré, nunca había usado una maquina de coser, y debo decir, que aprendí solo con el manual de instrucciones de esta máquina, es realmente fácil de usar y resuelve todas los problemas e inquietudes que puedan surgir. Leí comentarios negativos sobre este modelo en concreto, pero después de usarla, creo que es posible que dichos comentarios sean producto del uso inadecuado del aparato. estoy muy contenta con mi máquina de coser, aunque después de saber lo que podía hacer con ella, desearía tener muchas más puntadas disponibles y la opción de bordado, 50 puntadas se me hacen pocas ahora !!!

Very Nice Machine, but why is it so hard to get accessories from Authorized Brother dealers here in the SF Bay area?

Loved it until it stopped working

I was truly in love with this machine. I already had the csi7000. It sewed leather, denim and canvas with no issues. After 4 months of marriage bliss, it stopped working. The needle refused to go up and down. I checked the bobbin winder position, rethreaded etc- with no positive results. Very disappointed

Quiet and heavy duty!!
on April 15, 2021
Posted by: Deliteful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of this product. This is my first sewing machine I’ve owned. It is very easy to learn how to set up and use. I like how quiet it is when it is in use and how effortlessly it sews through fabric. I like how it is computerized and easy to navigate. The automatic threading is a very nice feature, I like being able to control the speed of sewing and stopping. I’m super excited about the endless creations I can make with this sewing machine! I am super pleased and impressed with this machine. I highly recommend for beginners and pros!
I would recommend this to a friend!
