2.0 out of 5 stars
it really pays to get a nicer one even for a beginner unless you don't mind upgrading after about one year,
By Jamie V (Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brother(R) VX1435 Mechanical Sewing Machine
I got this machine a year ago as a beginning sewer. I really loved it and was able to learn and make many things with it. I discovered and confirmed that sewing was going to be my 'thing'. I did not want my husband buying anything too expensive or fancy just in case I ended up not liking to sew.
Its a basic model and I don't need all of the fancy extras anyway. But now a year later, as my sewing confidence is growing and I am moving on to try new things, the machine stopped working right. There is some sort of problem with the thread. Its not the tension, I have tried everything. We have oiled and dusted it, changed thread, bobbins and fabric. The manual is terrible and not very helpful. The machine still runs but after a few stitches, the thread either breaks or comes out. It may be a simple problem to fix but not something we can figure out. Since my husband got it for so cheap (and even on sale) he decided to get me a new one instead of paying to have this machine repaired. We got a Husqvarna Emerald for $299. (a basic model) There is no comparison in how it runs its sturdier and even though its a basic model it has many nice extra features and the manual is great. Having said that, there is no way that one year ago I'd have wanted a $300 machine not knowing if I would like sewing or not. The Brother worked great and was easy to learn on, I just think it should have lasted longer than a year. 3 Months ago I probably would have given this 5 stars. Thats how happy I was with it until I started having these frustrating problems. (and an added note...a Husqvarna never needs oiling! How about that?)

Awful machine!,
This review is from: Brother(R) VX1435 Mechanical Sewing Machine
I bought this machine in January at a B&M store. I didn't do any research because I just wanted a basic machine and had read good reviews for Brother machines. This weekend I finally needed to use it to recover 5 cushions. What should have taken a couple of hours used up a whole weekend causing headaches and much cursing. I had to finish the project so I continued to deal with the bobbin clogging up, thread tangling in the upper mechanism, huge knots on the bottom of my fabric. I finished this morning hand sewing the final two seams. It's too late to take it back; I've learned a lesson here. It's going in the trash with less than 20 hours on it. My hb said to sell it or give it away, how could I do that knowing what a piece of trash it is?

The machine couldn't even sew a simple straight seam!,
By Just Another Linguist (Indianapolis, Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brother(R) VX1435 Mechanical Sewing Machine
I just returned my Brother VX-1435 after two days of struggling, trying to get it to work. I've done plenty of sewing on other machines, but thought that since I don't use a lot of fancy features, I might as well get a basic machine. What a mistake!
The machine wouldn't even sew a simple, straight-line stitch without skipping a stitch every so often - at least one every few inches, and at least once per seam it just quit sewing stitches at all and left you with two long strings of dangling thread. I tried everything to get it to pick up the bobbin thread - took out the bobbin case (an unnecessarily complicated setup, compared to any other machine I've used), re-threading the top thread, adjusting the tension (there's only one tension knob for both top and bottom) - I even took out the whole bobbin mechanism, following the steps in the manual, to check it. No luck at all. The instruction booklet says to call the company before taking the machine back to the store. I don't see the point, since they spent more time asking for phone, mailing address, e-mail, and fax (fax?) information than they did telling me to do what it said on the troubleshooting sheet. NO help at all, and the woman on the phone sounded like she'd never heard of this problem. I took it back to the store and spent the extra money to buy a machine from another manufacturer.
