Brother SM3701 Sewing Machine, White

This Brother sewing machine is sturdy and reliable. It’s not exactly compact, but it’s a good size for a solid workspace without being too bulky. The stitch quality is great, and it handles thicker fabrics without issues. Threading it is simple, which makes it beginner-friendly, but it still has the power and precision for more advanced projects. Also a nice option if you’re thinking of gifting a sewing machine to someone starting out. Great value and well-built.

Perfect especially with the carrying case. Sturdy. Has quite a few auto stitches. Easy to use and easy to move about. It’s bright Enjoyable to see. Not loud. Doesn’t jam.

I knew I would be doing a project as soon as it came because sometimes there are issues and you have to send them back and get the replacement. I wasn't going to miss any return windows. I sewed a belly bag and a fabric wallet with several layers and credit card slots. No issues. I'd keep sewing if it wasn't 1am. I am very happy with this. My brother quilting machine is also still going strong. I bought this becuase the black friday sale said it was light weight at 12 pounds and my brother quilting machine is a 19.5 pound boat. But dependable. Well, 12 pounds is still too heavy to be tote-able so this will remain on my sewing table. It's a pleasure to use as is my quilting machine. This can take the 8 presser feet from my brother quilting machine. And, I have a backup if either fails. A+. Glad I bought. At $112 it's well worth it.

I love this machine. I’m a beginner and it’s easy to use. It is solid built yet lightweight. It comes with a few bobbins so that was nice.

The one thing I’d improve is the little organizer section, everything will spill out each time you need to remove this piece to fill or replace the bobbin.Otherwise, it’s easy to thread, the design is cute. Standard size.

Really enjoy this machine for a beginner sewer. It’s simple but gets the job done. Smooth sewing and easy to use. Getting into quilting.

Great product, bought it for a sewing class for beginners,and they helped me set up thought it was. Very decent deal!

I've been sewing all my life and have had several Brother Sewing Machines, but newer is not always better. One of the prerequisites of being a designer of sewing machines should be that they know how to sew. The automatic threader doesn't work most of the time and I cannot see to thread it by hand even using a powerful magnifying glass, and you won't get much sewing done without doing so. If you have Rheumatoid Arthritis in you hands you will need a pair of plyers to lift and lower the lever that operates the sewing foot. Very poor design!I would willingly do and"" even trade" of this machine for a working treadle machine. I would be willing to bet that the person that designed this machine knows nothing about sewing or they conned their way into the job. Pay a little more and get a better machine. This machine is a piece of junk.
