great product slow shipping,
January 14, 2010
By nesmila
from Washington state
"To be honest the slow shipping could have been due to winter storms. It took much longer than I expected.That said, the sewing machine is great and I highly recommend it for first sewers. My daughter, 8, has made her first dress with it."

Quit after five uses,
January 6, 2010
By xnihilx
"I purchased this sewing machine to do small repairs and general mending. I wanted a simple manual non-computerized machine. Nothing complicated or extra parts to fail. However, after using it the first time I was not impressed at all. I bought it because the ratings seemed good. It was underpowered and had a hard time sewing through flannel and fleece. It did all right on simple cotton broadcloth but the stitch tension was not always consistent. The fifth time I used it I apparently asked too much of it and from what I can ascertain the tension control that you wind the thread around gave out. As a result the spool thread does not stay tensioned to pick up the bobbin and instead just puckers out of the machine. Also, the sewing platform itself is almost too small and the curve in the front makes it difficult to keep your fabric straight and even when feeding it through the machine. Overall the machine seems cheap (which it is) and not a good investment even for the average home user who may only sew a few times a year. You would be better off investing in something a little more "powered" and "forgiving.""

Disappointed,
January 4, 2010
By dchaddock
from Michigan
"This is probably a very good machine, in fact I selected it because of the great reviews. I purchased it for my daughter as a Christmas present. We set out to do some sewing the day after Christmas and the bobbin thread would not catch. We worked on it for hours to no avail. I felt terrible giving her a broken gift and unfortunately, she had already thrown the box away so we could not send it back. So, my daughter is now the owner of a sewing machine that will not sew!"

Great for a Beginner,
September 13, 2009
By zonjezile
from miami beach, fl
"This machine was easy to set up and use from a beginner's perspective. It's working great and is light weight and easy to move around. Also, glad to have bought a refurbished machine over a new one so I save money and the earth too. I'm very happy with this purchase."

Quite a bargain!,
September 10, 2009
By kitlingscreations
from Buffalo, NY
"I purchased a refurbished Brother LS2125 Sewing Machine from overstock.com, and I am very satisfied with my purchase. It is a decent sewing machine at a nice price. I am usually wary of buying refurbished items, but this came with a decent warranty so I decided to take a chance. I am glad I did! I've been using it regularly in the last few weeks since I bought it, and I've had no trouble with it whatsoever.This model of sewing machine is very easy to use. Once you unpack it, you could easily be sewing within just a few minutes.I'm pleased with my new sewing machine, and if I had to make the purchase over again I wouldn't change anything!"

SImple and Easy,
August 18, 2009
By zelda302
from Wilmington DE
"I haven't sewn on a machine in over 25 years. I just needed a basic machine to sew straight lines in varying stitch lengths and maybe a hem stitich once in a while. This machine will do that and more. The price is great for all the things you can do with this unit. You can even do TWO thread colors at once for a fancy border or embroidery. I haven't even finished reading the manual and I am already full of ideas of projects I can complete around my home.Ordering and delivery was easy and everything was included in the package; manual, cords, bobbins, and a working light bulb."

Brother Sewing Machine,
July 18, 2009
By barswan
"I must admit I was skeptical about buying anything on line, but I decided to set-up an account with paypal and try it. Since then I've made many purchases on-line. I am so very happy with my sewing machine that I bought from "Overstock". For someone with Old age ailments, it's such a pleasure to order on-line and have the product delivered right to your front door. I've sewn several things, and the "refurb" works as if it were brand new, and it may very well be.....NO problems at all. I am very happy with "Overstock.com"I will be ordering again and again. And look at the money I saved....isn't that what it's all about in these times? THANK YOU "OVERSTOCK.COM"."

sews like butter :),
June 10, 2009
By pjkaye1987
from auburn, pa
"I've sewn before - stuffed animals, dresses, other clothes, 18th-century opera costumes - but I still consider myself a beginner; at least, not advanced enough for a fancy machine. I had never owned my own, and I had purchased a different starter machine, not from Brother, which turned out to be a poorly reviewed model. I promptly returned it and looked to other options, and was encouraged by the off-the-charts average this product has, and for good reason! It is the smoothest, easiest machine I might have ever sewn on. I love it, and it came in great condition and with everything necessary. Such a happy customer! :D"

Hard to start,
May 5, 2009
By rh632
from West Palm Beach, FL
"I found the machine to be very difficult to get the needle to start sewing. I had to move it by hand quite a number of times to get it to sew. When it was operating it was not a smooth operation it kept stopping when I tried to sew slowly. I was also disappointed that there wasn't a simple hem stitch."

great machine,
April 5, 2009
By scipan
from Santa Rosa, Ca.
"Everything came as billed. The shipping was efficient and the necessary items, like a direction manual were contained. Not knowing anything about the machine, I fired it up and watched it operate before threading it. The needle was evidently bent and broke right away. Fortunately, three other needles were included. Thus, able to start it up fresh, it worked like a champ. Very happy with it."

"I purchased this sewing machine for my daughter's 15th birthday. It is exactly as described, looks and works like new! I shopped around for about a month before deciding to buy this one, and I am so glad I chose to go this route. Not only is it a great machine, it was a great deal. I am very happy with my purchase, and I know my daughter will be able to use it for years to come. Thanks so much!"

By toosassi4u
from TN
"I was given a sewing machine many years ago by my father for xmas it was a brother,,,,,,,hot pink course it does alot more than this one........however it it quite heavy too much trouble to get out and sew on now, and I'm not sure I could not even remember how to do all the fancy things on it...........This is a really nice machine not at all small like some childrens models I've seen. I took it out of the box and inspected it but decided no sewing till I finished my cleaning which was about 3 days later......Now I looking for fabric and stuff to mend......hehe I am very happy it does different straight stiches as well as zigzags, button holes and even will sew on a button, also has a mending foot........not too shabby for the price it cost!!!! Once again you just can't beat Overstock!!"

Brother LS2125 Sewing Machine,
October 5, 2008
By bagtoracer68
from Ohio
"My husband bought this product for me, for my birthday. It is a GREAT starter machine. The only problem I have had with it, is when I tried to sew thru 2 layers of denim. I think that thickness was too much for the machine. I broke several needles when trying to sew the denim. Other than that, the machine has fulfilled all my needs and then some. I would highly recommend this starter machine to anyone."

Exactly what I wanted,
October 1, 2008
By DarleenW
from Philadelphia
"I had a very heavy 30 year old sewing machine that finally just refused to sew. I wanted something that I could easily lift onto a shelf in the closet to store. Something that did basic sewing for simple crafts or repairs.
This is the machine. Seems easy to use, sewed just fine. Threading the needle was a little tricky but OK.
I'm happy with purchase."

SEWING MACHINE,
September 30, 2008
By LOJOWO
from Chicago,IL
"The sewing machine is a great value for the money. It's very light weight and so easy to thread and fill a bobbin. I absolutely love it. I have been sewing for awhile and this machine is perfect for me, I can easily hem and do all my crafts with no problem. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to save money from going to a seamstress and doesn't need all those fancy buttons on a machine that can go wrong and that are never used. Fast delivery too."
