Brother Intl LX3817 Lightweight and Full-Size Sewing Machine

This is my second Brother Machine (my first one went to our second home) and I am extremely pleased with both of them. They are easy to use, lightweight to move around, and sew beautifully. I highly recommend this sewing machine.

I am a professional seamstress but only have a power machine. It only sews straight seams. I also have an overlock machine but needed something that does buttonholes, zig zag, decorative stitches. This was it. Not complicated at all, especially with the CD with all the directions on "HOW TO USE!!! " The directions are very clear and I have made 30 AMERICAN GIRL DOLL dresses, costumes, hats, coats, and jackets with zippers. I love this machine!!!

I love this machine! I’m a beginner and I’ve put this thing to the test with some thick fabrics (including jeans) and it has yet to fail me. It has its quirks like any machine would, like the tangling of thread for example, but still great. I did break 2 needles because I got too cocky with the amount of fabric I was sewing but it comes with 3 extra needles so I have yet to repurchase any replacements. 5 months strong!

I like how its lightweight, has a bright light, runs quieter than my old machine. However, it came with four special feet. Two of the special feet I got are not for use with the model I bought. (LX3817) Not sure how that happened. It comes with an instructional DVD. It's almost like "The Complete Idiot's Guides." It makes (almost) everything make sense. It's easy to use. It's not real fancy. It's VERY basic.no bells and whistles like some really expensive ones I've seen (touch screen, usb plugs, bluetooth, lots of "wtf?") Great deal for the price.

I had a singer and tried getting a new singer and it kept missing stitches and would unravel and need rethreading every 20th stitch. Returned the singer and got this instead. Works flawlessly. Great little machine. Worth every penny would recommend it. Brother does not just make great printers - they make great sewing machines too!

I’m recently retired and realized that I can do anything I want when I want! I want to do my own alterations. YouTube and this easy to use sewing machine. This is perfect for beginners. Next step. Teaching my eight year old granddaughter….

Excellent machine, not a childs toy. Does everything I need it for and more than I expected. Great little machine for general, all-around sewing. I highly recommend it to anyone.

i really like that its so light weight once you un pack it just thread it and your on your way to sew. its a great sssewing machine i will tell others about this machine.
