Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brother LS2125I 10-Stitch Free-Arm Sewing Machine with Automatic 4-Step Buttonholer

Customer Review: Poor Thread Tension and Constantly Gets Tangled
Summary: 2 Stars

I get that this is a more basic machine than others - the price speaks for itself. But I can tell you that after about 12 hours of sewing time, this machine is no longer working properly. As others have said, the machine has one speed - fast. If you try to start out slow, it just hums and won't go. My big issue at this point is that the thread tension is all wrong. It was fine at first but now it uses about 5x more thread than it should and it is constantly getting tangled and jamming the machine and causing my needles to break. When it does decide to not eat up all the thread, the stitch doesn't hold because it's too loose. I thought it was human error at first but after hours of messing with it, it is clear the machine is just crap.

The reverse stitch is a bit of a joke too. 90% of the time the machine gets tangled when you use it.

The machine has a very hard time handling thicker fabrics (even with the correct style of needle). The feed dog doesn't seem to be capable of pushing through all the fabric.

This machine is probably fine if you either don't ever plan to use it or use it only for lightweight fabrics. If you ever plan to take on projects that use heavier weight fabrics or multiple layers of material, this machine won't cut it. Pay $50+ more and get a machine that actually works.

I gave it 2 stars because when it did work, it worked OK.
