Brother LX2763 Sewing Machine with 27-Stitch Functions

The Brother 27-Stitch Sewing Machine LX2763 is a great sewing machine for crafting. I have had numerous sewing machines over the years, and this by far is the easiest one to use. I have made curtains, pillows, pillow cases and cross stitched christmas stockings that require sewing, I have never really gotten into making clothes. After watching the instructional video that came included, I was ready to get started. The Brother 27-Stitch sewing machine is lightweight and offers full-featured sewing. Very multifunctional. It has a jam resistant, quick set top drop in bobbin, very simple to use. The automatic bobbin winding system made bobbin winding quick and painless. It does come with a brightly lit LED work area, brightens up the work area quite a bit. The built in threader, let me tell you, this is one of the things that thrills me the most about it. Couldn't quite figure it out at first, but after watching the instructional video is was soooo easy. The hardest part to me about using a sewing machine is threading the needle. This takes that worry away, totally awesome. I had the needle threaded in a matter of seconds. It has 27 built in stitches, 63 stitch functions, and an automatic 1 step buttonhole. When I seen the automatic buttonhole, just couldn't believe how easy and simple it was. Just place the button on the buttonhole plate and the machine sews the perfect buttonhole for it. I plan on using this sewing machine for years to come, I am just awed by all the functions.

I was considering buying a $500 machine as I was doing a lot of quilting. As the Brother LX2763 sewing machine became available to me I didn't think it would do anything as it is an inexpensive machine, but I was greatly surprised. I started with enveloping a quilt, sewing together batting and two layers of material. I put on walking foot and it handled sewing around the edge much better than my big machine. My big machine is a 45 year old Pfaff and would have fuzz from the batting build up in the working parts and I would have to help it keep the layers even. When I tried the Brother machine there was no fuzz build up, it feed the material through evenly, and didn't need any help. Now I will use this machine over my Pfaff for enveloping quilts. I put a decorative stitching around the edge of the quilt and had to learn not to help pull through the material, but just direct the material. Again I was very impressed. Next I used the Brother machine to piece together squares of cuddle cloth. I found three times, if I started too close to the edge, it sucked the material into the opening for the lower thread. If I started a small distance from the edge I didn't have any problem. To access the stretch stitches, the stitch length dial needs to be turned to “SS”. I had to slightly force the dial to go below “0” to get to the “SS”, but once there, it did a beautiful job on the additional types of stitches. I would highly recommend this machine to anyone. It is light weight and works great.
