Disappointed, September 14, 2005
This review is from: Brother LS-2220 22-Stitch Function Free-Arm Sewing Machine (Kitchen)
I bought this machine to replace my 35-year old Singer Stylist and was surprised to learn that it was not as good! Of course being newer everything was a little smoother, but it has two problems that made it unacceptable to me. The first is that it requires constant - daily or weekly - oiling (my Singer only needed annual oiling) in 5 different places, some of which were not clearly indicated in the manual (brief and annoying to follow) and all of which were difficult to access. Also, pictures in the manual did not match the machine I received. The second big problem is that the it does not have a drop-in bobbin, something I thought surely would have become standard in the last 35 years! My old Singer had a drop-in bobbin and it is a feature I am not willing to give up.

I love this machine! I am no seamstress, have very little experience with a sewing machine actually...yet I find this machine VERY simple and straightforward to operate. I use it most often for sewing on my scrapbooking pages and all of the designs/stitches work perfectly for that!
