Here are the Singer and Brother sewing machine reviews of machines that I’ve owned or used.
Each review includes my thoughts and a review of the pros, cons, and features of each machine.
When interviewing sewing machines for my daughter, I purchased a mini sewing machine to test first. It was tiny, portable, lightweight, and cost a portion of what full-sized sewing machines cost. I was underwhelmed, and well, let’s just say that it’s not the sewing machine that she ended up learning to sew on. However, mini…
I recently bought Brother’s latest release, the Brother CP60X computerized sewing machine, and am excited to share more about it. Overall, for the money, the Brother CP60X is a nice little sewing machine. The stitch quality is impeccable, and it’s an upgrade to the Brother XM2701 and XR3774. However, there are several things about it…
I’ve been sewing on my Brother CS7000X sewing machine for a while now, and I’m so excited to write this Brother CS7000X review! For years, I sewed with the Brother CS6000i sewing machine and loved it. My biggest complaint with the Brother CS6000i, however, was its unreliable needle threader. Mine broke less than 2 years…
I’ve had my Singer 4452 heavy-duty sewing machine for over a year now, so take a peek into my experiences in my Singer 4452 review. Long story, but I owned the Singer 4423 heavy-duty sewing machine before this and then ended up with Singer 4452, too. I didn’t need two heavy-duty sewing machines, so I…
I recently added the Singer 4423 heavy-duty sewing machine to my sewing room, and I want to share my experiences with you in this Singer 4423 review. I own (and have owned) a TON of sewing machines, but this was my first experience with a heavy-duty sewing machine. I never thought I needed one because…
The Singer M3300 sewing machine is a new release from Singer and is an updated version of its well-liked predecessor, the Singer 2277 Tradition. As such, the Singer M3300 is still a great sewing machine for a certain subset of users. It’s not the most advanced sewing machine that comes with all the features under…
Recently, Singer announced the arrival of the Singer M1500 sewing machine. It’s their new and improved version of the well-loved Singer Start 1304 sewing machine. My daughter’s been sewing on the M1500’s predecessor, the Singer 1304, for a while now, and she’s learning to love sewing like me! It’s been a great, basic sewing machine…
I recently purchased the Singer Start 1304 for my older daughter and have now had time to sew with the machine and help her learn some. As such, I’ve put together this Singer 1304 review to help you determine if it’s the right sewing machine for your needs. This Singer Start 1304 review will focus…

Brother has released their new Brother ST150HDH Strong and Tough computerized sewing machine, and we’re all wondering the same thing. How does it compare to the other heavy-duty sewing machines for home use? And with several of Brother’s other heavy-duty machines discontinued, will the ST150HDH be a suitable replacement? I think you’ll be impressed with…
Typically sold at Walmart but also available from other retailers, the Brother SQ9285 sewing machine has emerged as one of the most full-featured Brother sewing machines you can purchase without trekking to a dealer. This sewing machine has a ton of stitches, presser feet, and even its own monogramming font. In addition to its emphasis on…
The Brother CS6000i sewing machine holds a special place in my heart. I purchased the sewing machine years ago when I began sewing more seriously! Thus, I speak from experience that this is a great, inexpensive sewing machine that’s easy to use, especially for beginners. However, there are still some drawbacks to the Brother CS6000i,…

It doesn’t come with much more than basic features, but you’ll be able to get started easily with the simplicity of this machine. You’ll find yourself mending or altering clothes,…
The Brother HC1850 sewing machine is one of my favorite sewing machines based on its versatility. It features over a hundred built-in stitches, many types of buttonholes, and even alphanumeric stitches. This computerized machine also has many beginner-friendly features, such as automatic needle threading, a quick set, top drop-in bobbin, and an automatic drop feed,…
While not the snazziest sewing machine out there, the Brother XR3774 is an affordable Brother sewing machine with enough features to get beginners sewing immediately. It even has enough accessories and functions that more advanced sewing enthusiasts can enjoy. For example, the automated needle threading, easy bobbin winding system, and quick-set, top drop-in bobbin increase…
