I used to sew when I was younger, now the kids are all grown and I have more time for myself.I picked this machine for the price,simplicity, and the Brother name.So far I am very happy with this little guy. For the price it is well worth it. It took me a few tries before I was able to thread the bobbin and load it. I've gotten better at it. For me, the speed is easy to control, it takes corners really well, and I love the reverse sewing. You don't have to do anything except flip the switch.Having only ever used a straight stitch machine, I love the choice of stitches. The tension is easy to fix (I never had any luck with that before now) I have yet to use the button hole maker,and I have not sewn in a zipper, but in time I'll feel braver! My only complaint is threading the needle, my eyes aren't what they used to be. But the machine came with three needle threaders, and that helps somewhat.All in all this is a great little machine.I recommend it to any one who is just starting out, or just wants to replace an older machine.

I bought my Brother XL 3125 as my first sewing machine. I chose it because it is a good brand, had a nice number of stitches and was very economically priced.It has done everything I have asked of it and even more! It is easy to operate and I love learning to sew on it. I think I will be using this machine for years to come!

I bought this machine nad I really like it. I have sewm many things with it and I really have no problem with it at all. It has been able to do all that I have needed it to do. It really is a nice sewing machine an excellent for beginners as well as experienced sewers who need to do everyday sewing.

This is my 1st sewing machine. I brought it to a sewing class to learn how to sew, and it was one of the easiest and lightest. Compared to the other it's pretty quiet and doesn't "jump" or move while sewing. I bought mine from Wal-Mart and it came with a DVD on how to set up the machine, how to straight stitch, how to zig-zag stitch, sew a button and install a zipper. It's has 14 different stitches so it's not only a great machine to learn on but can be used once you learn how to sew well. I have hemmed jeans with a size 14 needle (what it comes with) with no problem, but bought a size 16 needle to make sure it doesn't brake! I love this machine and recommend it to ANYONE!
