Brother GX37 Lightweight Portable Mechanical Sewing Machine with 37 Built-In Stitches

BROTHER GX37 LIGHTWEIGHT FULL-FEATURED SEWING MACHING HAS SO MANY WONDERFUL FEATURES SO LIGHT BUT HAS EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF I LOVE ALL OF THE OPTIONS. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE HAD A NEW SEWING MACHINE, IT IS AN INCREDIBLE SEWING MACHINE, BASICLY THREADS ITSELF AND IS SO EASY TO OPERATE. I MUST ADMIT I WAS A LITTLE INTIMIATED WHEN I SAW ALL THE OPTIONS AND DIFFERENT FEATURES IT HAS AND THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO USE IT, BUT ONCE I STARTED CHECKING IT OUT AND TRIED SEWING SOMETHING WITH THE MACHINE I LOVE IT AND IT IS SIMPLE TO USE AND YOU GET SO MANY DIFFERENT STITCHES AND OPTIONS. MY HUSBAND SAID I ACTED LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE WHEN I FIRST OPENED THE BOX AND WAS INSPECTING THE GUIDE AND CHECKING OUT ALL THE FEATURES. BASICLY IT'S READY TO USE STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, ALSO IT'S SIMPLE TO USE FOR A LEARNING OR AN EVERY NOW AND THEN SEWER BUT HAS EVERYTHING FOR AN AVID SEWER TOO. NOW I WILL BE SEWING A LOT MORE, AND ENJOYING MAKING THINGS.

The Brother GX37 Sewing Machine is a joy to use. Some improvements over the old models include: self-threading bobbin, automatic one-step buttonhole maker, and an auto-size feature(There is a place on the buttonhole foot to insert a button, and the machine will automatically make the right size buttonhole for it!). I would encourage everyone to view the instructional DVD, and then set up and use the machine while playing the DVD again. It's a very good idea to practice on a piece of fabric, so you can learn the ins and outs of the machine. I found a few things that didn't go exactly as the DVD said they would. I was able to adjust my application of the directions, and got the same great results(For me, they were; the auto-size feature on the buttonhole foot makes the buttonholes a bit too big. I just use a slightly smaller button than I'm going to put on the garment, and the buttonhole is the right size. Also, I have the bobbin thread a little longer than the video recommends. I like the see-through cover on the bobbin case, so I can see at a glance how much thread there is. Most of all, I like being able to go over the DVD instructions, and being able to pause the video and pick up again when I've mastered the instructions. The decorative stitches add a lovely touch to linens and quilts. There is so much more I'll be able to do with this machine, than with my old basic Brother. I went online and signed up for online sewing courses, and checked out Youtube--the possibilities are endless!
