This review is from: Brother XL5600 45-Stitch Function Free Arm Sewing Machine (Kitchen)
This machine was received promptly from Amazon.com.
It says it is a 45 stitch machine... very misleading. It is only a 17 stitch machine. The difference in stitches is the length/width, but that doesn't exactly make it a different stitch.
The manual also stinks... not clearly written at all. It took me over 2 hours to figure how to get from one set of stitches to a second set of stitches (you have to adjust 2 different knobs to get from one set to the next, but that is nowhere in the manual).
One more thing that drove me nuts...
This machine comes with extra feet... great! However, not all of the extras are listed in the manual... and the manual does not tell you which foot to use for which stitch... thank goodness I have a little knowledge of sewing.
If you are a beginner, don't buy this machine. If you do, you will need to hire a professional to help you understand how to use it.
Good luck!
