Brother LS2125i sewing machine was designed with beginners in mind and is geared toward people looking to mend their shirts or hem their pants. It can handle simple projects and nothing more. Although, for the price, that’s to be expected. If you’re looking for a top of the line machine, you are going to have to pay for it. This is not it.
I tested this out at home with some simple projects I had for my kids. I wanted to mend my son’s basketball shorts and add a few buttons to my daughter’s top… here is what I found:
PROS of Brother LS2125i
This machine is as user-friendly as it is durable and it is a perfect beginner’s machine because of its simplicity of design. It can sew pretty much any materiall; silk, cotton, burlap, you name it. That’s always a bonus. It supports twin needle stitching function and had a left aligned straight stitch for top stitching
This is a great sewing machine for teaching a beginner or for your own first machine.
Here’s why:
- Simple to thread
- Very simple to insert bobbin
- Easy fill the bobbin.
If you are starting out with sewing, please take this advice. If you purchase a low cost machine you are going to have to pamper it a bit. You aren’t going to be able to give it a beating and expect it to continue to work well. The important thing is that you take care of this machine if you want it to last.
Oil your sewing machine once every few months. Change the needle depending on the material you are using. Buy a carrying case so that it will stay protected. This machine will hold up well if cared for properly.
CONS of Brother LS2125i:
The tension can be problem and the thread will lock on top or under the fabric. If you are a beginner this can be frustrating and difficult to fix.
Conclusion
So while it is inexpensive and user-friendly in the sense that it is relatively easy to get up and running it can be a pain to keep running. It’s durable but if you can’t get it to do what you want, you won’t be using it very often anyway.
It’s probably the BEST choice for a beginner but if you are an expert you would certainly want something with more features and options.
