CS7205 150-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine with Wide Table

I’m a beginner & purchased the brother cs 7205, I love it! Easy to figure out, the manual & video are so helpful. It sews beautifully. I’ve had 0 issues! The one thing I didn’t notice when I purchased was that it embroidery's only the block font. I wish I would have bought the one with more font options and that has an app for my computer so that I can send projects to the machine. That’ll be my next machine. I highly recommend this Brother sewing machine!

Great Machine, nice looking. Like the extension for sewing.

It is truly a blessing to me and my family. This is my second Brother purchased in 20 years. I love the simplicity of this machine.

I liked this machine very much at first. Until i tried doing a straight stitch. 100% unable to do a straight stitch as the bottom stitching looks like a dang birds nest. Can’t do a zigzag stitch as it then knots and locks and tangles together under the presser foot. I am beyond frustrated at this point. Oh! And the bobbin cover is broken and keeps jumping up, it broke due to the knotted thread

I went from a Broth XL 3022 that was my mom’s that a learned how to sew on that still sews as if it was brand new, to now the CS7205, I love both machines and to this day still use the XL 3022, but the SC7205 is much more advanced and makes sewing faster and so much harder to mess up the machine it will tell me flat out if I forgot something like oops no bobbin, hey need to put that foot down first; I know simple but sometimes you just forget, cleaning is a breeze, I’m in love with all the different stitches and yes I use them all hard to believe but they are so much fun and with the machine telling what foot I need is so helpful, the LED light I love, it’s so easy to see what I’m doing without extra lights I thought I hate the way the bobbin sits but I have had no jams and it’s so much better then I thought it would be. I tend to sew thick items like jeans and it’s like butter just remember to use the right needle and don’t be afraid to use the walking foot on thicker projects what a difference that made. Over all 10 out of 10. Just because it’s under quilting dose not mean you limited to just that, I love sewing, but I hate quilting I have done it on this machine because a friend wanted a quilted apron, it came out perfect but man I have no passion to quilt, but this machine made it very easy for me quilt.

I bought this machine to replace a 30 year old Sonata by Singer, mainly because I couldn't see to thread it any more. When I started researching, I discovered very quickly all the tasks this particular machine could perform. I've always wanted to take up quilting and am currently working on some projects for our RV. My husband is thrilled that some of his shirts will again have buttons on them because of the button foot. I love that it has an "automatic" threader which has really helped my old eyes. The diagrams for threading the bobbin and the machine itself are very straightforward. It took me a couple tries to thread it, but now, I have the hang of it. It also took me a couple of tries to get the walking foot attached, but that is more due to me than the machine. One of the things that I didn't expect to love as much is the ability to not use the foot pedal. My sewing machine is on the counter in my craft room, and while I normally use a drafting chair when I am crafting, with the ability to stand and sew, I find it easier than getting on and off the chair.

I already have the Brother SE 1900 sewing/embroidery machine, and while it is pretty portable for what it is, I wanted something less expensive and a little smaller to take with me while I work on theatre costumes, etc. Plus, I’ve been having issues with the bobbin on my other machine - an easy fix, I’m sure, it’s probably just overdue for a cleaning - but I needed a machine to have on hand as a backup. Additionally, once I get a sewing room set up, I’d love to have two machines so I don’t have to switch back and forth from embroidery to sewing. I am spoiled by my Brother SE 1900, however, and knew I would just be frustrated by an entry level machine. My husband and I did a bit of research and bother landed on this machine. I love it. It’s set up differently than the SE 1900 and a few of the features are a little more basic, but it has almost everything I love about the sewing parts of the more expensive machine. It has the adjustable speed switch and seems to see just as fast as my fancier machine. I haven’t tried it on a very thick fabric yet, but it sewed through a big stack of seam allowances just fine. The needle threader is different and a little more finicky but I think I might just need to get used to it. It’s still a lot nicer than doing it by hand. Threading the machine is a fairly simple process, as is using the high speed bobbin winder. The drop in bobbin case is easy to work out. The bobbin winder doubles as a base to insert a second spool to use a twin needle, which is included along with a nice variety of other accessories to get you going. This model has both the regular sized table for a compact footprint and easy portability as well as the long table to support larger projects, which is a nice touch. This is a little more expensive than a basic level machine, but it would make a perfect machine for beginners and they would not outgrow it for a long time. But it’s definitely perfect for more experienced sewers who want a convenient and compact machine without sacrificing their sewing experience. I am so glad I paid a bit more for this machine. I have a few more things to work out, but I think I’m going to be happy with it for quite a while.

It a good little machine. Perfect to carry to quilt or sewing groups
