My "Brother" sewing companion
By Stella L. Bragg
I purchased this item from Amazon.com

I recently started quilting and wanted a machine that could handle this. After looking at multiple choices, I chose the Brother XR9500PRW. I am very pleased with the results I have had with it. Since I also make a lot of my own clothing, I love the way this machine accomodates all my projects.

The only problem I have encountered is using the buttonhole maker. I am making a blazer with facing and interfacing. Will not feed all the layers so I am forced to make them the old fashioned way - by hand!

I give this machine 5 stars and would recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful machine!
By A. Derrico
As a sewing beginner, I was not sure I should get a Brother sewing machine. I had been using my mother's Singer (Athena) for the past few months and really liked it, but it was a little out of my price range. I decided to get this machine for some of the features and the excellent price. There are a few things that I like more than the Singer. First, the drop in bobbin. I was used to having to pull up the bobbin thread on the Singer and have quickly gotten used to skipping that step. Next, the speed adjustment switch. It keeps me from sewing too fast at times and I can set in on the lowest speed when my daughter is sewing. I love that the hand crank has a mark on it to show where the needle is in its highest position. But you don't actually need that since there is a needle up and down button. It was also new to me, but I have quickly learned to use it and appreciate it. I find the light is very good, the machine is fast and quiet. It was very easy to set up and begin to use. I chose it over a few of the slightly lower end Brothers for the hard case and the table, which are both useful. I think the features I mentioned earlier were even more beneficial to me. Finally, there are more than enough types of stitches. The monogramming feature works easily. The feet are easy to change, and the digital display tells you which foot to use.

Finally, I will say that the needle threader on the Singer is unique--you can do it with one hand. This machine's mechanism is slightly more difficult, but now that I've mastered it I've not threaded the needle by hand even once.

This machine is fantastic! It has renewed by interest in sewing and seems to be a quality product that will last for years. I will update if I have any significant issues with the machine.

Very Happy
By S. Turner
I bought this machine to use for quilting, and so far, I've been very impressed. I was skeptical getting a machine that was "computerized," but it's actually very helpful. It beeps when something isn't right so that you don't start sewing with the foot up or similar. I have used it to sew several layers of thickness and haven't had a problem. I previously purchased the Singer Talent and had to return it due to a weak motor, and this is a dream in comparison. Much quieter, and so much more for the money.
