"Awful machine!" 2010-06-20
By ekory
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!" 2010-06-08
By Just Another Linguist (Indianapolis, Indiana)
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.

"Don't Do It" 2010-02-06
By cocopuff (east hampton, new york)
What a mistake it was to purchase this machine. Now that I look at the return instructions I see that I have to pay a 10% restocking fee as well as pay the UPS fee both ways (because it was "free delivery"). This machine is so primitive that I can't understand why they even bother manufacturing it.

"So far, so good." 2009-12-15
By Dee Marie (USA)
I am learning to sew again. This machine is very basic, but not more than I need right now. The instructions that came with the machine are easy to understand. It is very easy to set up and to use.

  
"I liked it until it broke after less than a year of light use" 2009-04-21
By Terra M. Nischik (Northville, MI)
I can't get the tension to work and I'm in the middle of sewing gifts for mother's day, great. I liked it ok but, now I'm irritated. Look for a better beginner machine unless the deal is SOOOOOO good you can't refuse it. I bought mine for $40 on sale. In retrospect, it was worth it but, now I need a new machine.

"So far, I love this machine" 2010-03-24
By Karielk (Western Washington)
I have been sewing since 1969 or so. I have done a lot of sewing, had a number of different machines. My last purchase was a Euro pro. It sews pretty well, but very hard to get parts. I wanted another machine so my daughters and I can sew together. Price was a factor, and I did a lot of investigating different machines and decided on this one. So far, I am well pleased. I have played around with the different feet and designs. I am very pleased with the button holes and how easy they are. (I can remember my first buttonholes many years ago)

I am a bit disappointed in how much plastic parts there are now. But I am seeing that on most the machines.

I am enjoying the feature to use the buttons on the machine for start/stop and speed control. I love the needle threader as well as the feature for the quick start bobbin. One thing I haven't tried yet is heavier fabric such as denim.

I would highly recommend this machine for beginners or intermediate users. A lot of machine for the price.

Next day--I cut off some jeans and hemmed them, and even with a 16 needle this machine wouldn't go through the doubled side seams of the jeans. A lot of machines I have used over the years had this problem as well. This is the only thing I have had trouble with so far. But it sewed the regular denim just fine.

"Wish I had bought a new one" 2010-06-06
By Patricia Denney (Cedar City Utah USA)
I love this machine. The little lettering you can embroider with it, the lovely fancy stitches. It is easy to thread and sews well and I bought mine refurbished for $149 and it was false economy. For refurbished read used. The table I got with mine did not fit, the cover was filthy, non of the extras were included, the quilting foot, the 1/4 inch foot, the walking foot, the quilting guide or the eyelet punch. I have bought the extra feet which pushes up the price to $199. Walmart is selling this same machine but under the model number of SQ9000 with the front a pretty pink instead of blue and for $199 plus tax which makes it around $210. Less than $20 more but I would have had a perfect brand new machine and registered with Brother. Never again will I buy a 'refurbished' model even though I did finally get a replacement table and I cleaned the filthy cover.

  
"love it!" 2010-05-25
By Poodle_Mama (Baltimore, MD)
I love this machine! Light weight and more stitches a novice sewer, like myself, will ever need.Now if i just had the time to try all the stitches and embroidery.

My only complaints are that it does not handle layers of fabric well, even with a denim needle. I found if I put it on the lowest sewing speed it does much better. But I still sometimes get the Error message. The monogramming function is less then what I expected. The letters are small and too boxy.

The computerized stitching makes changing stitches a snap,and I have actually changed stitches while sewing the same project with no problems.It even tells you what foot you should be using,and automatically sets the width, and length. Or you can do it manually.The tension has yet to be a problem, it is easy to adjust. And the auto needle threader is great,once you get the knack of using it.

The XR9000 is great for a beginner like myself. The price for a refurbished one was within my budget, but If you can afford a new one in the box, go for it.

I wanted an embroidery machine originally, but they are so pricey.With the embroidery foot ,purchased separately, and a little practice, I think I'll be OK! Maybe I'll be able afford the Project Runway machine one day, the XR9000 is all the machine I need right now.

  
"TERRIBLE!" 2010-04-19
By
I bought this machine from a different site in February and with the snow I got it in March. Well by the second week it stopped working. The bobbion thread gets all tangles and locks up the motor. I called Brother and they were ZERO help. The worst part is that the machine broke in the middle of makign a crib set for my niece who will be born before my replacement arrives

 "A couple of issues...." 2010-04-15
By Montana Ro (NW Montana)
I loved this machine at first. It was smooth, quiet, and I love the speed control for applique.

My issues are:

Straight line sewing seems to be a slight problem. I have to fight a little to keep my fabrics feeding thru straight. It doesn't matter which feet I use, I change feet, thread, and needles according to what the manual says for whatever I'm sewing. If I wear my quilting gloves for regular straight sewing it's a little easier. But I never had to do that with my old machine.

My second issue is skipped stitches. This just started happening a couple of weeks ago, and I have done everything the manual suggested. I have cleaned the bobbin case (it was pretty dusty), I have made sure my needle is inserted properly and the machine is threaded properly. I make sure I have the right needle, foot, etc for what I'm sewing. It still skips stitches, even on my applique now.

Today I am going back to my old singer. I live in the boonies and it is a full day to drive to and from a place that can service my machine. I am going to call brother customer service and hope they will be able to help, but I do not want to pay expensive shipping or repair charges for an inexpensive machine like this. I may end up donating it to my trash can and buying the more expensive machine I wanted in the first place.

Bummer!

"Really Great Workhorse" 2009-11-09
By Lonia (VA)
I got this machine for Xmas last year after reading hundreds of reviews for different machines. I definitely wanted a manual sewing machine (after hearing/reading about lots of problems with the computerized), one could go through some heavy materials- particularly fleece, and wasn't horribly fussy to deal with. In general, it's easy to use and works really well. It's easy to thread normally (I can't figure out the automatic threader). Sometimes, as with most manuals, the needle will skip. You really need to listen for problems with the bobbin and stop as soon as you hear it. Sometimes the bobbin doesn't catch quite right and it gets itself tangled in the casing. If this happens, you'll have to really pull gently to get your project to move up enough to carefully cut the threads out. Not a huge deal, just something to be aware of. The only real complaint I have about it is the underpass under the arm is much too small to do any enormous projects (like a bedspread). If you buy the case with this, as I did, be aware that the case does not snuggly fit the machine and the machine can bounce around and some of the delicate metal parts on the top can bend. This happened once when I put it on the floor of my car to transport it to a friend's house to do some work. The piece bent back easy enough.

"A solid machine for home sewing" 2008-08-02
By Laurel (New York, New York)
Though the Brother XL-3510 wasn't my first choice in a machine (purchased out of a limited selection from an online retailer using a "store credit only" return policy, even for defective machines), after a marathon weekend of sewing medieval garb, I have found this to be a solid machine that handles a wide range of projects effectively and efficiently. With a drop in bobbin (SA156 is the Brother part number--same as their sewing/embroidery machines) that is oriented a little too much towards the right handed (I'm a left handed person), it's much easier to manage than the Europro I returned to the online retailer that uses a steel bobbin and bobbin case from the side. Threading is easy as well, though left handed people will have problems for a few times until you get used to the nuances of the threading. There are about 3 or 4 places that I found the machine difficult to manage as a left handed person. Sadly, as strong as Brother is, for both the industrial and home sewing markets, they have forgotten that both left handed and right handed people use the machines!! I really like the way the stitch selector dial works. Just like a shift key on a computer, you just put the outer dial on the red SS1 for the red row of stitches or the green SS2 for the green row of stitches--it's very user friendly. Normal stitches are neither red nor green--for things like straight or zig zag. Everyday stuff like back-stitching is easy (easier than many models) and the machine doen't balk at you when you want to go through a few thicknesses of fabric like pleats. As with any machine, you might have to coax it a little by a tug or two on a stubborn section through the feeders, but I've never known a machine that always could feed anything without a little help now and again. All in all, thie machine passes the test. It works very nicely and should be a great addition to anyone's sewing room. I'm not an expert seamstress, but I've sewn to some degree since I was six and used many many machines along the way. This machine was a good buy--but for the future I will ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT before buying ANY MACHINE--it really DOES MATTER WHO YOU BUY FROM AND WHAT THE RETURN POLICY IS. READ THE RETURN POLICY--EVERY WORD--BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING--THIS IS EXTRA IMPORTANT FOR SEWING MACHINES.
This is a great machine. I didn't buy mine on amazon. I really wish I did.

"Good price, good quality, fast shipping!" 2010-08-10
By Rhia
I found this item to be at a great price! Other places sold it for much more than Amazon. The shipping cost was also reasonable. I received the item very quickly. I was a little disppointed because the instructions included with this item are vary vague and difficult to read. The pictures are small and not very detailed. However, I think the instructions are pre-packaged in the item so not necessarily a seller problem. I would just recommend searching for turtorial videos... I found quite a few on YouTube. This was a great help.
Be sure to practice before actually using this on a quilt. It's easy to learn!
Thanks for another great purchase!

  
"Good product" 2010-07-12
By swthme
I bought this free motion quilting foot for quilting the baby quilt (expecting baby next month). It was worth buying it. This is the cheapest I could get when compared to the one from sewing supplies store. It is very easy to work with once you learn how to handle. Worth buying.

What a great, fun tool to have! It takes some time to get used to the quilting foot, but once you do, you'll love it.

Brother 2340CV 2 & 3-Needle, 3 & 6mm COVERHEM STITCH

Product By Brother International Corp.(5 customers reviews)

Lowest Price : $348.00

Product Description

The cover stitch is what gives garments their professional looking finish. This stitch (also called a "cover hem") was previously available only on sergers, and then, often only on the highest-end sergers.

The Brother 2340CV is a more economical model, offering a wide 6mm, triple-needle cover stitch and a chain stitch. Because they only do these two types of stitches, they're extremely fast-up to 1,000 stitches per minute-and much easier to set up and use. They look more like regular sewing machines, and offer familiar features that make them easier to use than sergers, like a full size sewinbed, free arm sewing, vertical needle drop and a one-hand thread cutter.

This machine will allow you to hem T-Shirts, attach lace, attach taping and binding, sew decorative stitching, attach elastic, attach lace, do belt loop stitching, circular hemming, attach elastic lace & hem stitching

The cover stitch is especially suited to stretchy fabrics like knits, as well as the popular new blends of traditional woven fabrics with a small percentage of stretch fiber added for extra flexibility.

The cover stitch is a serger-type stitch made without the knives (no fabric is cut), so it can be used not only to finish hems, necklines, collars and cuffs, but also for decorative effects in the middle of the fabric. Cover stitches can be made with two or three needles.
Chain stitch One-needle, two-thread double chain stitch. For tape binding, joining woven fabrics and decorative effects. Expand your creativity with Brother's advanced technology.
-Easy to follow lay-in threading.
-Color-coded threading guide.
-Fast and easy looper threading system.
-Dial adjustment for stitch length.
-Stitch length 2mm to 4mm.
-Presser foot pressure adjustment.
-Slide lever adjustment for differential feed.
-Differential feed for perfect seaming on virtually any fabric type.
-Eliminates the wavy or stretched appearance of stitches on fabrics.
-Snap-on presser foot

• Chain stitch One-needle, two-thread double chain stitch.

"EASIER THAN EXPECTED" 2010-07-06
By P. Ashbury (Mendon, MI USA)
I was a little worried about using this sewing machine, but I can honestly say it was easy. Between the directions in the manual and the diagrams on the machine, I had it threaded in less than 15 minutes. I was able to find all the answers to my questions in the manual. After sewing a sample of maybe 10 inches, I decided I was ready and I hemmed a shirt for my mom. It looks professional. I know this machine will save me lots of time and money. I'm really glad I decided to buy it.

"works wonderfully" 2010-03-17
By Nor Laili Mahmud (Rawang, Malaysia)
I'm very satisfied with this machine, the stitches was very nice. I love it very much. For this machine,I have an option to either use 2 needles or 3 needles coverstich. One point to note is that this machine don't like a cheap thread, the stitches will break. other than that, it works beautifully.

"You have to get this!" 2010-01-09
By C. Mick (Iowa)
I just got my Brother 2340cv Coverhem Sewing Machine and it is a dream! It took me a little while to thread it the correct way but it is much easier than my serger. And after a few times it will be as easy as my standard machine. I practiced a hem on an old t-shirt and then immediately started to hem all of my clothes that needed to be hemmed. It is so fast and the finished product looks like I took it to a professional tailor. This will pay for itself in no time! You won't regret buying this for hemming or making new clothes.

  
"Unsatisfied and Disappointed" 2009-11-14
By Reina (Venezuela)
The machine arrived to my country without any kind of accessories, the front cover DOESN'T CLOSE, it's totally out of place. Also, when I turn on the machine and I press the pedal, it does not sew. When I received the machine, it seemed to be already used, and I paid for a new product. The seller replied very late and he doesn't want to take care of the matter. I lost my money.

  
"Brother 2340cv Coverstitch machine" 2009-09-02
By Laurie Gelazin (Farmington, MI)
Just bought this coverhem machine from Kens Sewing. Five minutes after unpack I had a lovely, perfect 8" coverhem sample. That was yesterday. Today I have a lovely, new t-shirt with painless, perfect hems and bound neckline compliments of this machine. The machine isn't high-end (results are tho) but I'm thinking that it's going to help me puzzle out why my 4yo, $1500 Bernina overlock/chain/coverstitch can't make--never has--anywhere near an acceptable coverstitch let alone a chainstitch. High-end, schmi-end. This.Bro.works.good Oh, and, Ken has the best price (far as I can tell) in the US. Also, having fumbled the initial order I created an immediate customer service test. Ken and crew passed w/flying colors. I am one happy camper.
