Product Description
Amazon.com Review
With heavy duty functionality and convenient portability, the XL5700 offers the best of both worlds when it comes to sewing. The machine features a one-step "auto-size" buttonholer with a stitch balance control that ensures equal density on both sides of the buttonhole. Simply place the button into the buttonhole foot and, using the built-in buttonhole stitch, the machine makes the buttonhole the correct size every time. Garment construction, decorative, heirloom and quilting stitches are built in for easy operation. Accessories are included for quilting, zipper insertion, darning, buttonholes and button sewing. The presser feet for this machine feature an easy-to-change snap-on design. The machine also features adjustable stitch widths and lengths, as well as a dial-thread tension control. Instructions in English and Spanish included. --Brian Olson

Brother XL5700-its a good deal,

This review is from: Brother XL5700 57-Stitch Function Free Arm Sewing Machine (Kitchen)
I bought the machine after picking up a more expensive new Singer which was garbage. I was told by Singer customer service that I should have probably bought a more "advanced" machine.They would not take it back and so I said I'll never buy another Singer. Thsi Brother machine is my first. The price was very good at a local big box store. It set up wonderfully and I was sewing in 10 minutes. The machine runs very smoothly and is much quieter than other sewing machines I have owned or used in quilting classes. I quilt around 30 hours per month with my machine, but didn't want to spend $500 or more for a basic sewing machine. I am very happy with the purchase of this XL-5700 for under $200.

Like the machine,

This is a great sewing machine for the price. I think the quality and number of functions are great for the part time or occasional user. I would recommend purchasing a cover though. Even though it is very portable, there's no exterior protection or dust cover. It also seems to be much better quality than a comprable singer.

I've never sewed a day in my life, but I always wanted to try so about a year ago I finally went to the local Walmart and bought this. It was the cheapest there (less than a hundred).
It's really easy to use. Never using a sewing machine before, I felt like a pro. Easy directions to thread the needle, and all those different sewing possibilities. It was great! Perfect for beginners!
