  • Great Machine
Style: ST371HD
I have been a seamstress all my life and at 70 I thought I knew about sewing machines. I have used a Bernina, which I felt was too fussy for me, and switched to Brother when I bought my first Serger. Besides the quality of Brother machines, I feel they are a great company that backs their products. With my Brother machines, I have made more than 40 Renaissance Court costumes, including King and Queen costumes. Now that I am a grandma (Meemo) I have started making doll clothes. I have had a computerized Brother for the last four years but because I am now planning on making covers for an outdoor lawn swing and patio chairs, I decided to get the Brother Strong and Tough to use with the heavyweight fabrics that will be necessary for those projects. Once I had this machine out of its box, it was set up in minutes. The stitches are nice and even and it is easy to adjust the tension and type of stitches. I have used it now on faile and dotted swiss while making dresses for my granddaughters' dolls and I have had my seven-year-old granddaughter using the machine as I teach her sewing. I had bought her a lightweight Brother as a birthday present but I think I am going to get one of these for her instead. It is a much better machine. I have stored my computerized machine to make room for this one on my sewing table. I find now that after all these years, I prefer the mechanical machine to the computerized ones. What a revelation! All the extra stitches on my computerized machine go to waste as any embroidery that needs to be done I do by hand. Always have. Always will. I appreciate that this machine has a rubber base to keep it from moving while I sew. I appreciate that none of the stitches skip and that it is easy to start sewing at the edge of the fabric without having to hold the threads in the back to keep the stitches from bunching. I like that the presser foot has an extra height adjustment to use on thick fabrics, something I will be needing when I make the lawn swing seats. There a couple of things I miss from my old machine but will adjust to quickly. The "down needle" button for pivoting fabric. The longer cord on the pedal foot which I could drop behind my table top instead of draping forward across the table. The quieter running motor, so I can sew at night without waking my grandkids and their parents up. These are all minor issues though in exchange for a really good machine that I expect will be the last one I get. All of the machine feet I have for my old Brother fit this machine as well, but the bobbins are a slightly different size and not interchangeable. It comes with four bobbins, and I had purchased more bobbins for my granddaughters' other machine that fit this machine just fine. AND it came with a Teflon foot which will come in handy on many of the fabrics I use for the doll clothes. I am a very satisfied customer. Thank you Brother for continuing to make such great products. ... show more

  • Love it more than I imagined!
Style: ST531HD
I’m surprised at how much I love this machine! I’d recommend this for new sewists that have limited experience, intermediate and even as a backup machine if you have an expensive and more complicated machine already. It’s very easy to learn, thread and simple to operate. Sometimes simple Is best. If you’re new to sewing, just review the manual and watch a few YouTube videos on threading, settings/stitches/tension you’ll be up and running pretty quickly. I bought a set of additions 32 presser feet because I sew apparel. Not necessary as a newbie, but an inexpensive investment. I’d recommend this machine overall for performance, ease and it’s appealing look. ... show more

  • It sews through thick layers
Style: ST371HD
The media could not be loaded. Watch the video I posted. Earlier this year I bought another brand of sewing machine. I was quite happy with it until I tried for hours to sew thick neoprene. I thought there was a malfunction. Turns out the machine simply wasn't made to sew through thick fabric. I found this one for such a good price. It is very straightforward. It's easy to thread and change settings. I like the automatic needle threader, the bobbin winder and overall the sturdiness this machine offers. I wish I had gotten this one first. It was half the price of my other one. One more thing, You have to be careful to choose the right bobbin type. Some look the same but I read you could ruin your machine using the wrong size. Make sure it's an SA156 bobbin. ... show more

  • Buttonhole maker
Style: ST531HD
The machine is really strong and tough as the name implies. I liked all of the simple features it had on it. The drawback to me was the buttonhole attachment. When you start the buttonhole you'll have to adjust your zig zag stitch to make tight lines. When the buttonhole has finished one two and three the last stitch which is a zig zag stitch doesn't stop as other machines do. It just keeps sewing down. So the adjustment is to look through the tiny hole of the needle plate and make sure your stitch stops and you are not able to backtack to secure the stitch. You just have to cut the thread and try to pull it through the fabric so that you can tie a knot. Not to my liking. Sending it back. Other than that I thought it was a great machine and it will sew through eight denim fabric pieces and then land on a single cotton fabric and the stitches look great. I am going to upgrade to the computerized one which does a lot of other things but also makes nice buttonholes. Good job two brother for making a incredible machine. ... show more
