Brother GX37 Lightweight, Full Featured Sewing Machine, White

Can't use it ATM, as was sent with a US power supply for UK use. Had to purchase a correct supply at additional cost £30/45usd. Not happy. On a plus note arrived 5 days early. Looks like a great machine though. Hopefully update on functions when correct power supply arrives

Needed a new sewing machine when mine unexpectedly resigned. Bought this one for the price, reviews, time to get here and partially the purple colour. So far so good! It works like a charm, love the way the bobbin sits, it never gets jammed unlike my old one where it was much more complicated and you couldn't see the bobbin once it was in. This sewing machine is not for heavy duty work, it's a very simple machine and can't quilt or anything like that. I've used it to make doll clothes, a blanket and plan to make clothes for myself. No issue with it thus far. The price felt fair, I also had a coupon for some $80off. Stores around me sell machines for a lot more and I would have to transit home with it, so Amazon was my best option to get one in soon and I had free shipping. Overall I'd recommend this for beginner/casual sewists, it's also great for younger teens as it's very simple to understand. It's cute, compact, works well and is worth the cost in my opinion.

Cómoda, pequeña, practica y ligera. Varias funciones y bonitos colores, muy estética.

For what this machine is, a beginner sewing machine, it is fantastic. It is easy to use. It has a lot of stitch patterns. I haven't used a sewing machine since middle school Home Economics class and in my 50s now, I went straight to sewing. I have mended split seems and hemmed a polo shirt that was too long. This is a great machine even if you are not very skilled. It is very forgiving. I would wholeheartedly recommend this machine as an inexpensive beginner machine that punches way above it's class. I took a beginner class and this is the machine that they use for instruction. Get this very functional machine if you are in the market.

Purchased the GX37 machine because it was less expensive than getting my old basic Singer repaired! Amazon apparently combines the reviews for model GX37 and LM2701, although the LM2701 is several years older, has fewer functions, includes fewer accessories, and is $23 more expensive. Seemed liked a no-brainer to go with the cheaper, newer model GX37, which comes with more options and accessories. I am glad I did! I’ve been sewing a long time but usually only basic things—hems, face masks, seam repairs, drapes, etc. Don’t usually use the fancy stitches or make buttonholes. I was able to unpack the GX37, follow the sticker guides right on the machine to thread it and immediately sew a practice seam without reading any instructions or watching the video. It’s pretty easy to figure out if you’ve used a sewing machine before. It comes with a bobbin already threaded and inserted, and with a 90/14 needle (for medium weight fabric) already installed. So all you need to do is thread the top thread and you’re ready to go! The machine produces perfectly “balanced” seams—meaning the tension is perfect with no puckering or pulling. I took some photos to show you. Very easy to use this machine! What I don’t like is minor: (1) The built-in storage compartment at the front of the machine - when you slide it out to remove it, all the stuff inside falls out because it is shaped more like a “bookcase” (open on one side) instead of a “bin”. That is not a handy way of storing extra stuff like bobbins. (2) The LED light is a little too dim. (3) Raising the presser foot feels a little awkward—it’s a plastic lever that flips out to the side. Every machine have ever owned has had a metal lever that flips “up” toward the back of the machine. (4) To change the needle, you need a screwdriver. They provide a dime-sized tool that serves as a screwdriver. To me, that is just something I’ll have to look for when I need to change the needle, and something to lose. It would be better to just turn a knob with your finger to change the needle. Overall, I think this is a great machine at a very reasonable price, and it includes many very nice features including 74 stitch functions and 37 built in stitches. I was so excited about the needle threader, that I immediately did it three times! As I get older and it’s harder to see to thread a needle, that is a VERY HANDY feature indeed! Both models GX37 and XM2701 come with the needle threader. It does not come with a case—but no sewing machine I have ever owned came with one. It fits fine in my old universal sewing machine case. It does come with a dust cover but I can’t see using that because I would probably not leave the sewing machine out. Overall, I am REALLY pleased with this sewing machine. What a great buy, and easy to use with *clearly written* instructions. Thank you BROTHER! UPDATE: I like this sewing machine so much, that when my daughter-in-law said she would like to have a sewing machine for her birthday, I bought her the same one! I write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases because I read reviews myself and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope that my review helped you!
