BrotherXM2701 Sewing Machine, Lightweight, Full Featured, 27 Stitches, 6 Included Feet

I am new to quilting and wanted a good sewing machine for a not so expensive price in case I found out quilting is not for me. This machine is great. Takes time to learn how to thread but once you learn it it is a breeze to use. It seems great . I would recommend this for beginners in sewing. Lightweight and cute. Multiple stitch selections also. Following the YouTube tutorial was also a great help in getting my machine up and running.

Bought as a birthday gift for my daughter!Sewing machine is beautiful with a great design on the side! Many settings to sew and design all sorts of cool and creative items!

An awesome beginner sewing machine! Its size is perfect for mine and my husbands space. It’s very sturdy and has a nice heavy weight to it that makes it feel very quality. The threading helper is a lifesaver and makes it so much easier to use. Would definitely recommend to any seamstress. First thing i used it for was making a liner for a backpack i crocheted

I love the sewing machine. It is easy to use it is self threading and self bobbing. However, I have not figured out the self needle. Other than that it’s a great machine for the price. I have so many things since I have got it and absolutely love it. I also bought a thread that goes with it I highly suggest doing that.

I bought this machine to do some light quilting and general sewing. I have a much older Brother but it's having some mechanical issues so I needed a cost effective replacement to finish of a huge project and decided to stick with the Brother line.It's a fairly decent machine for the price. It doesn't have a lot of extra stitches, but I rarely use them. I found it does accommodate 2 needles (which is a specific type), that was interesting. It's easy to thread and use the bobbin. It sews in a fairly straight line. The biggest issue is the thumping noise, it gets loud and mostly happens if more than 2 layers of material and thin 100% cotton batting. It sews through it great, again, it's noisy. Overall there's some nice improvements from my 25yo machine and is very user friendly. The stitches are very consistent regardless of speed. For $90 it's a worthwhile purchase for light sewing.

I absolutely love the Brother XM2701! It’s easy to use, super intuitive, and perfect for beginners like me. The instructions are clear, and it comes with a great variety of stitches for all kinds of projects. It runs smoothly and feels sturdy, not flimsy like some entry-level machines. I’ve used it for hemming, repairs, and even small creative projects, and it handles everything beautifully. Definitely a 5/5 — highly recommend for anyone getting into sewing or looking for a reliable everyday machine!

Really love this machine. Found Mom the Maker(of stuff) on youtube and she has all the videos on what I needed to know like Bobbin winding and setting up. Made using the machine a snap. I just typed in Brother XM2701 and voila. So once you know how to set up, the machine is a delight to work with. I sewed drapes and valances with a trim that had weight to it, went slow, and it worked beautifully. Was thinking that I would have to do the trim part by hand, but no, the machine did it. I did take my time and had it all pinned out properly. The drape and valance project is a big one, so I definitely will change the needle before the next project. What a nice surprise this machine turned out to be. I have only had it for a couple months, so time will tell, but so far very happy.

I am not a serious sewer. I had a Kenmore for 42 years and it finally gave up the ghost :( After looking at product reviews, I purchased this Brothers. I opted for the version with no electronics because that just seems to add more things to go wrong. The machine came quickly and was very well packaged. Directions for set up were super simple. I have used the machine the last 2 days, used 4 stitches, all worked perfect. If you are a serious sewer this probably does not have all the features and fancy stitches you want, but for hobby sewers it works very well.
