Brother Fashion Faces LX3125E 14-Stitch Sewing Machine, 1 Each

PRODUCT IS AS STATED. have no issues with product itself....daughter is happy with it . but this is more a buyer beware review. purchased from partner seller: barginstation.com ----DO NOT DO THIS ONLY buy from Walmart!!! Barginstaion customer service is HORRIBLE.....I need to rtn item bc it's missing parts anreturn shipping for me (and I am rel. close to rtn ctr) is over $23!!! And there are slow to deal with ....not helpful. and said they may even reject the rtn and send back to me. Awful seller!!! I contacted wal.com and they said they will try to help me......

Where do I even start... The thread breaks constantly. The tension is always screwed up. There is always a tangle somewhere. You will be ecstatic IF you can get 10 good stitches from it. I am not bothered about how loud it is, because i'm too busy praying I can finish a stitch without complication.

I made my machine's value worth the first project was a pikachu costume that was online for about $90, and I only spent at most $20 in materials. I've used heavy fleeces and sewn through posterboard material covered in fleece to achieve a firm upright tail for the costume. I did this after not touching a sewing machine in about a decade. I've only used my mom's sturdy powerhorse Singer prefessional machine. This was delightfully quiet. It's not as powerful, but it does the job. So far it came out of the box w/ the reverse broken, but i'm assuming that's why it was returned to the store/open box to begin with. All in all I'm still keeping the machine because for the $60 that I paid for it, it runs great and it's made it's worth in hemming pants and making baby blankets for my daughter. I'm not a seamstress, just a mom who wants to do a few light jobs throughout the year. Perfect match. As far as the thread tangling up. I had a great deal of it until I googled the problem. This machine is very finicky about the threads being pulled straight to the back. I by habit always sewed with the thread to the left. That change in position of thread ends when starting has elmimated the tangling situation. I sewed light satin onto a thick berber fleece baby blanket w/o rips/tears/thread tangling using the zigzag stitch. only downfall is the reverse not working but oh well, it's still a great machine for the value.

I learned to sew on my mom's machine and didn't realize how spoiled this would make me. As an adult I decided to start sewing again and needed a machine. I wasn't sure if I would still enjoy it so I went with an affordable machine. Well I still love sewing but I do not like this machine at all. The tension does not set well and the thread snaps free because of this. Also the bobbin is terrible and creates loops for the thread to tangle in. When working with stretch fabrics for barbie clothes the machine eats the material. I thought it was the way I had the machine set up but my mom looked at it, tweaked a few things and came to the same conclusion...this is a terrible machine. Currently looking for a better one.

I feel that I wasted my money on this machine, it is very noisy and sews poorly. I have tried to set the tension, and no matter what number you set it at, the bobbin thread is still loose. I wish I had never bought this machine. I have an old machine that came from a sewing factory, but is really heavy, I bought this one thinking I would enjoy it much more, because it is light weight and I can move to where ever I want. I'll stick to my old machine, at least it works.
