429 of 434 people found the following review helpful:  One major limitation, By Cassiopea (San Diego) - See all my reviews This review is from: Brother XL2600I Sew Advance Sew Affordable 25-Stitch Free-Arm Sewing Machine (Kitchen) This is a great machine for the price. I am teaching my teenage daughter to sew and she is turned off by my clunky old Singer. So I keep that around for the tough jobs and use this new Brother for the light weight stuff.
The only major limitation of this machine is that it can't really handle heavy weight fabrics or multiple layers very well. There is no presser foot adjustment, so the foot can only be raised so much, and can't be adjusted for variable feed, depending on fabric thickness. There is only one setting. That means you need to use plenty of pins, and keep the old Singer around for the heavy duty stuff. Otherwise, a fun little machine. 226 of 226 people found the following review helpful: HOW TO STOP LOWER THREAD LOOPING, By SBP "Ladorada" (San Diego) - See all my reviews This review is from: Brother XL2600I Sew Advance Sew Affordable 25-Stitch Free-Arm Sewing Machine (Kitchen) I too was having a ton of problems with the lower thread looping under the fabric. It was very frustrating. Finally I figured out how to fix it. Refer to the owner's manual section on inserting the bobbin for photos. What you want to do is drop in the bobbin, and pull the thread through the little slit like it says. But, you have to make sure that the thread goes into the slot in the "tension-adjusting spring" (this is hard to see; pull up the plastic tongue that forms the slit a little with your fingernail to see where it is), although it should go in by itself, then YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE BOBBIN SO IT DOESN'T MOVE AND PULL THE THREAD GENTLY TO SEAT IT INTO THE SPRING. That is the key. After I made sure the thread was all the way in, like magic my lower thread was working perfectly.
Aside from that I am happy with the machine. I especially like the needle threader and think that the top thread is very easy to thread. Now that I figured out the lower thread issue, I want to...Read more 161 of 164 people found the following review helpful:  Jury's still out, but not everything I'd hoped for., By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Brother XL2600I Sew Advance Sew Affordable 25-Stitch Free-Arm Sewing Machine (Kitchen) I'm an intermediate beginner. I have some experience with industrial machines from a sewing class but haven't made any completely successful garments yet. A more experienced sewer suggested I buy a cheap Brother machine. I bought this machine in June largely because of the positive reviews it received on Amazon. Here are the pros and cons I've encountered to date:PROS --Price --Bobbin winding and threading are straightforward (especially the threading function) --Makes a nice stitch so far CONS --The manual is difficult to understand in parts and the layout and index are poor. It also confusingly includes a Spanish-language version immediately after the English text instead of following the English version at the end, as is usually the case with dual- or multi-language manuals. (Some users over at the Wal-mart site had the same problem.) --The markings on the soleplate don't run the entire length...Read more |
