4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use (except zipper foot). I like it!, September 26, 2006

By	Julia Amiya Messersmith "Searching Woman" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just bought this sewing machine about three weeks ago. I got it as a replacement for a Bernette that I used for about thirty minutes total that the repair man could not figure out how to fix. I am working on my fashion certificate and needed one right away. I picked this one partially because it was PINK!
This machine is easy to use - bobbin winding, changing stitches, portability, two-needle. I like a mechanical machine. I have not tried the buttonholer yet. A great first machine! This is my fourth. I like the reverse, the freearm, the size.
Petty annoyance - the presser foot is low when up, so when you need to know where your needle is going into the fabric, you have to knock the foot up with your finger so you can see - not a big deal. BIG deal - put the zipper foot on and then you have to adjust the needle width out of the zipper foot groove to get the seam close enough to the zipper, because the foot is wide(???) at the back and on the same level(???) as the foot itself. Maybe I'll just use invisible zippers.
If you are rough with things, do not buy this machine. Many of the parts are plastic, like the presser foot lever. We use that a lot.
I have sewn with many layers of denim, very light fabrics, and much in between with great success. Just change the needle after each project.
I hope I have given you enough information to begin to make an informed decision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Buy!, July 7, 2006

By	T. S. Reichert - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love my new sewing machine! My husband, who had never sewn with a machine before, set it up quickly and we both can use it easily. It's so easy to use I am planning several more sewing projects for this summer. On my last project, the machine had no problems sewing through denim seams and pockets. I am very pleased with all of the features (59 different stitches, a double needle for gathering, needle threader, button foot) I got with this relatively inexpensive sewing machine. Everything is working great so far. I would recommend this machine for anyone looking for the basics plus the capability for more advanced sewing down the road.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brother XL2610 59 , March 16, 2007

By	R. Parker - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's been 1 month since i bought this sewing machine for my wife and she likes it not only pink but easy to use. At first time she get difficult to figure out inserting the thread but finally we figure out together. Actually, this is our first sewing machine that has a lots of stitches and my wife enjoyed using it. According to her the bobbin is easy to remove. All the stitches and patterns are good but the only thing that my wife doesn't like is the straight stitch which doesn't really work straight but it's ok. We are glad i bought this type of sewing machine.
