I've never had luck with the Brother machines ... and beginning to do with Janome seem to have far fewer problems than Singer or brother. One of the best places I know about sewing machine review http://www.patternreview.com - no comments for this machine. but just look the manual (downloadable from the website's brother), and basically stitch lengths zig-zag and the right, an invisible stitch option and method of making buttonholes send me screaming mercy. Manual/UM_LS_2000_ENES_1811.PDF http://www.brother-usa.com/ModelDocuments/Consumer/Users Here are my first standard machine rant Sewing: Check out Kate Dicey test in the selection of sewing machines http://www.katedicey.co.uk (And check out this site ... there are many small tutorials beautiful here!). The FAQ refers to is now or http://web.archive.org/web/20071021104932/http://cet.com/ http://preview.tinyurl.com/l5rzu6 ~ Pennys / faq / smfaq.htm What I want for beginners in sewing: - a machine that does not scare you - a machine that does not resist (cheap new machines are often reluctant or require a lower frequency and seldom can be repaired - too frustrating to learn -) the right to very good - good zigzag (4-5 mm is fine, the more the sauce) - a method of making buttonholes that makes sense to you - adjustable presser foot pressure (which allows some management problems of tissue) - Accessories levers that do not cost an arm and a leg (machines that use a "short shank foot" typically handle generic presser feet pretty well. Some brands of sewing machines use very expensive or owner) If the budget stretches far enough: - stitch blind stitch and blind spots - triple zigzag (nice for elastic applications) - A couple of decorative stitches (do not use nearly as much as you think) - electronic machine for control of needle position and because the stepper motors give "Open your fist" forces sewing speeds -. Mechanical machines often started slow Please go to the best distributors of sewing machine around and ask them to show you some machines in your price range * especially * used machines you can afford. You'll get much better machine with a purchase price used and new and a good dealer is worth their weight in sewing machine needles when you have a machine problem - often you can talk about the problem over the phone. If you try it, try some machines (sewing machines, embroidery sewing combo-not) over your price limit, so you can see what difference in stitch quality and ease of use might be. You may find that you want to go for the used Cadillac. Or you may want the new basic Chevy. so try both.
