Brother XL 2600 Sewing Machine w/ Free Bonus Feet (Refurbished)

This is a wonderful sewing machine. It's easy to use, has some lovely features to it, such as the automatic threader, which for those of us who wear glasses is an absolute eye-saver and the reverse stitch button for double-seaming. It's easy to thread, both upper threading and bobbin threading and it's very easy to use, with tension, stitch length and stitch type controls in the logical places. Also love the buttonhole foot as it allows you to put your button in the slide and will automatically calculate the correct length for your buttonhole. The machine is also lightweight, which compared to my old Singer is a blessing. Lovely machine.

I cleared space in anticipation for the newest edition to my crafting area and I was not let down. I am not a seamstress, not by far, but this machine was so simple, the instruction have lots of picutres, that's a bonus, but even without the pictures it is really easy to follow. For being refurbished, it looks like new. The machine is in fantastic shape and all the little goodies in the "glove compartment" we perfect. If I had to do it again, it would be a no brainer. Once again, an Overstock satisfied customer.

I love the features, especially the automatic needle threader. Worked well for a while, but then had problems with, I believe, the tension. The thread was looping and then suddenly would not even sew (no thread in the fabric). I spent hours trying to fix it. I need to call the hotline, however, I am usually pretty good at trouble shooting. Having said all this, it could be me, since I have not sewn before.

good value for the price, though I have not explored all the options so far. Some parts seem to be easily breakable though, so the one should treat them carefully. Other than that, it's OK deal! PS. I was also pretty pleased with customer service. Thanks, O!

I have found the Brother XL 2600 Sewing Machine w/ Free Bonus Feet to be a good portable second machine to take to quilting meetings and classes. Having the walking and darning feet included were bonuses and made it an especially good bargain. Being lightweight, it is easy to transport. Sewing with this machine has been very satisfactory.
