What Model Brother Sewing Machine You Own/Owned?

HS 2000

How you obtained the machine? (gift, bought new, etc)

Bought new.

Approximate age of the machine

1 1/2 years

Approximate price paid for this machine?

New on craigslist for $60. Retails for $170-200.

What type of sewing you did/do with this machine?

I love sewing garments, accessories, and crafts with this computerized 70 stitch machine! I've used the many embroidery stitches and overcast stitches with no problem. It came with ALL of the feet and accessories. It's sturdy enough not to vibrate or move while sewing. It's quiet enough to talk on the phone while stitching.

What is your satisfaction level with this machine?

I am very satisfied with this machine! It handles the trickiest pintucks and smocking like a dream. It's a pleasure to use. The only problem is when you're sewing through many layers of thick fabric like more than four layers of heavy denim. It just goes slower. I haven't had any tension problems or thread nests and it takes standard sewing machine needles too. Can't say enough good things about this machine!

Advice

  • I advise beginners, intermediate, and advanced sewists to try this machine! It can do everything the more expensive machines can do in my opinion!
