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.

I was given this product free for my honest opinion. I have been a seamstress, not professional but, a seamstress nonetheless since I was about 13. My grandmother, a professional seamstress, taught me how to sew at an early age and it carried over into my teen years with Home Economics (when it was part of school curriculum). I have had a "Jeans Machine" sewing machine for about 30 years and it was about time to replace it anyway. This machine is incredibly easy to learn and use. Threading is simple, bobbin spooling very easy. It has some changes I'm not used to but will, in time, become accustomed to it. No quirks with the function of the sewing machine at all. The instruction pamphlet is very detailed as well as the disk that came with the machine, which I have yet to have to use to figure out the machine. I has a 37-stitch configuration, button holes, blind stitching, straight stitching, zig zag and the like. I love the variety of stitches available and, hopefully, I'll have a chance to use most of them. The machine operation is very smooth and quiet. My old machine sounds like a lawn mower these days, so it is a nice change. The machine also comes with a horizontal bobbin load with a clear case so no more, oops, I'm out of bobbin thread. I LOVE THIS FEATURE. I have always had vertical loading bobbins and, number 1, hard to manipulate (kind of a feel type load) but, this has the horizontal load "as nature intended" so to speak bobbin. I would recommend this product to anyone who is experienced and even the newbie just starting out. VERY user friendly machine. Plus Brother is a brand you can trust.
