A great machine for sewing on cuffs and hemming pant legs, the Brother XL2230 features 31-stitch-functions and a free-arm design. Built-in functions include straight, zigzag, satin, triple stitch, stretch, blind-hem, and elastic stitches for attaching a wide variety of materials. An automatic 4-step buttonhole means precision buttonholing, every time. The XL2230 also features an easy-thread design with a built-in needle threader and drop-in bobbin. More great features: 18 utility stitch functions, 6 decorative stitch functions, 2 quilting stitch functions, 5 heirloom stitch functions. Plus, built-in stitch lengths and widths set automatically for perfect stitch density and no loose loops or haywire. Brother's snap on design makes changing presser feet a breeze. Twin needles enable two-color sewing, and a dial-thread tension-adjustment and a quick winding bobbin system make operations quick and smooth. Lightweight and compact, a built-in handle offers easy portability. Brian Olson

5Brother 31 Stitch Sewing Machine  May 22, 2008
It's not the most powerful thing out there, you can't do a lot of sewing on very heavy fabrics or leather. You could make some light weight drapes but, upholstery fabric might be too much for this machine to handle.
For the money it made a great gift for my daughter to sew on.
Now she can make minor repairs to clothing or sew herself a nice dress.

5Good value for a small machine  Apr 28, 2008
The Brother sewing machine was intimidating at first glance, but it all came back to me after I wound the bobbin. The manual and pictograms on the machine made things easy to use and understand. Operates very much like a Singer and has nice features for the price.

5Excellent Deal for all-purpose novice sewing   Apr 23, 2008
I purchased this item to sew a "kung-fu" carrying bag that can hold long 8-footer spear and staff while holding bunch of other stuff in it. Thick sewing did not cause it any problem as I sewed zipper through double-fold material, and sewed on haress which is also quite thick without any problems. The set-up is very easy, straightforward. I had have some experience with sewing machines before, and this was the easiest one I ever had to use. Creating bobbins and installing it was blast, and what's my favorite part is that it has tool that threads the needle for you. Yes, that's right, you don't have to lick the string and hope to God that you could put it inside the eye of the needle! It does that for you. I have used it to sew on buttons as well. It came with plenty of accessories, more than I ever will need. I can't say if it will last forever if you use it for commerical purposes, but for usual day-to-day home stuff, it should be more than enough.

5GREAT SEWING MACHINE  Feb 16, 2008
This is my first sewing machine. I did not buy this machine to sew some major products, however, I have sewn some things around house such as Quilt bed spread and curtain and many many dog clothes. It has worked great so far and I am loving this product.

5easy to use for first time sewer  Feb 09, 2008
I was looking for a sewing machine so I could learn how to sew maybe one pillow a year, but I didn't want to spend too much money on a "learning wheel" and I definitely found what I was looking for, clear instructions, easy to follow, the price was right. I just brought a universal case from a target store for $20, it fit perfectly and with the foot control on the side, all in all, it was a great purchase.
