Pros: Solid but lightweight machine, easy to use, nice stitching.

Cons: None so far.

Review: I was looking for a machine to replace my 30 old Singer that died of natural causes. I read the reviews on Amazon.com and found them favorable. I was nervous when I read the bad reviews here, but went to Walmart and bought this machine anyway. I have ...

Pros: Easy to operate. Easy to clean. Easy to oil. Easy to thread.

Cons:

You have to take the storage comaparment off to change the Bobbin

The Bottom Line: I think this is a great sewing machine for who are wanting to learn how to sew with a machine.

Review: The Brother LS-2125 Mechanical Sewing Machine is a great machine for people whom have just started the hobby.The Sewing Machine Comes with, 3 replacement needles,a screwdriver, 3 extra bobbins, a regular presserfoot, a zipper foot, and a ...

Pros: Lots of goodies, great for the price, easily set up and used

Cons: The bobbin case continuously caught and tangled the thread mid-stitch

The Bottom Line: I recommend this to intermediate sewers, or novices who aren't easily discouraged. Advanced sewers would bore quickly of this simple machine.

Review: This handy machine comes with: three presser feet (regular, zipper, buttonholes), a darning plate, three bobbins, a needle set, an extra spool pin, and a screwdriver. I found all three very nifty, and quite honestly I wasn't expecting goodies so I found ...

Pros: It was inexpensive and it had the basic things I needed.

Cons: It had the most confusing directions separated from the illustrations!

The Bottom Line: Have a friend who knows how to sew be there when you get started because the instruction manual isn't worth the paper it was printed on.

Review: I am 40 something years old and wanting some new window treatments without spending an arm and a leg, so I purchased the inexpensive Brother LS-2125 at a "superstore" with the intention of teaching myself to sew. If I am given adequate instructions I ...

Cons: Doesn't handle thick fabrics, but I really wasnt expecting it to...

Review: I went into Walmart with the intent of buying a different machine, one which I had already seen reviews on. Unfortunately they did not have the one I wanted so I bought this one, really not knowing anything about it. When I came home I looked it up on ...

Pros: Well constructed and highly functional at a low price.

Cons: Difficult to thread and lacks adequate instructions.

Review: The Brother LS-2125 appears to be a very capable and well constructed machine for basic sewing needs. However, it took me several hours to get started due to some critical oversights in the owners manual. The instructions are provided in three ...

Pros: Easy to set up and use

Cons: the stitches are short even on the long stitch setting.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this sewing machine because it is easy to set up and use, but if you would like to use longer stitches this might not be for you.

Review: I bought this for myself in an attempt to make my own curtains. I have never really messed with a sewing machine before, but I figured out that I would save money on them even with buying the sewing machine. It was easy to understand the manual. I had ...

Pros: Inexpensive.

Cons: Cryptic instructions.

Review: Once I got it threaded it made an excellent stitch and ran smoothly. But I was disappointed in the threading instructions and would avoid this machine if you haven't threaded or used a sewing machine ...

Pros: It sews.....eventually

Cons: Hard to understand directions, glitches in parts, not very versatile

The Bottom Line: This machine is too confusing for beginners and not versatile enough for experienced sewers. I recommend you pass.

Review: I remember learning to use a sewing machine in school eons ago. It happened to be an ancient manual Singer with the rocker pedal. No frills, straightforward and easy to use. My sisters and I made all our own clothes back then on a similar machine at ...

Pros: light, inexpensively priced, variety of sewing stiches, easy ONCE you figure out the instructions

Cons: plastic construction won't last long. Loud when in use. Not for seasoned sewers.

Review: The instructions were hard to follow given that four different languages appear on each page. The instructions also weren't clearly written, so left a great deal to the imagination. Making bobbins was easy, but the bobbin itself doesn't get entirely ...
