My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Torn between two Brothers....

18 years ago

Hello,

I'm hoping to learn how to sew and am currently researching which machine to buy. I'm interested in two Brother machines, which seem to get good reviews -- particularly for novices. I can't tell which would be better - the Brother LS 2125i 10 stitch or the Brother XL 2610i 25 stitch. The main differences seem to be that the 2610 has an auto-needle thread, which might be nice. The price difference between the two is $30 on amazon.com. (And both are free-arm machines.) I don't want anything that will be too overwhelming at first, and am primarily planning to make some garments (skirts), curtains, and tablecloths. Any advice?

thanks in advance!!
