Brother LS-2125i 10-Stitch Portable Sewing Machine

I've been wanting a sewing machine for years but never got around to picking one out. My husband finally did a bit of research and proposed this Brother LS2125i model. It has all of the features I want and is not overly complex with features I don't need. My sewing is just occasional, but I have been wanting to make some clothers for my grandkids and also try making some things for myself and for around the house. This machine was up and running with my first sewing project in about 10 minutes after pulling it from the box. It is so easy to use and works like a charm. I have read the manual -- it is easy to read and informative. Overall, I'm super happy with my purchase and recommend it.

I haven't made many things as I just recently purchased this machine but I like the way the bobbin is inserted and easy way the needles can be changed. I have a digital machine besides this one and I use this much more because it's easier to thread and can make the stitches I use often with less adjusting.

I'm a senior citizen who never used a sewing machine. My main problem is finding jeans with the right leg length. So I got this little gem and taught myself some basics. The included manual is clearly written. Right now the lock stitch serves my current needs to hem shortened jean legs. I've done some practice button holes for fun and am amazed how easy it is. It's basic alright, but perfect for a sewing beginner.

I've never sewed a day in my life before getting this machine. I crochet purses and decided I wanted to step them up a notch and add liners. If someone else can learn to sew then SO can I. So I watched about ten thousand videos on how to sew on Youtube then I shopped around for the right machine. I was just going to be lazy about it and get a childs machine. Something small that I could just sew ends over with and leave it at that. I saw this one on sale and read almost all the reviews and decided to try it. It is amazing. I read through the manual completely and was careful to thread it correctly. I transferred the thread I had purchased to a bobbin successfully and sewed a pin cushion on the first day to keep all those pattern holding straight pins in. I used some embroidery fabric I had laying around (some that I didn't like the printed pattern on) It made a lovely sewing themed first project. I'm ADDICTED now. I have to admit I was frightened out of my WITS that I was wasting money on something that I would be terrible at but it isn't hard at ALL. I think it is all knowledge and practice which is easily accomplished. I'm excited. I have a BIN full of fabric that my mother sent to me but I'm reluctant to mess it up so I went to the Goodwill and purchased a few old sheets on the sale days and practiced with those in the patterns I bought. Nothing to it. I love this machine SO MUCH. It told me everything I needed to know and has a TON of options. Plus I got it on sale for $60! I registered the machine with the card it came with. The only BAD thing I would say is that the cord holding the foot could be longer. :)

Bought this machine about 6 years ago - has been just great, no problems with anything. for 3 years I used it to make dresses and shorts for my Church to take to Nicaragua, the past couple years I have been repairing costumes . Just this past week it stopped sewing, but for all that it has been through in the last 6 year, I can not complain. Can't decide if I should get this one again or go up to the XL 2600i, but as for this machine it has been great and a good investment for the price
