Brother XL3750 Mechanical Sewing Machine

I bought the sewing machine because the one that I have is very old and the tension wire got caught in some mesh that I was sewing and got stretched out and didn't work well. Everything on this machine is enclosed and no risk of damaging fragile parts. I am very pleased with the machine. It is quiet, smooth and very easy to use. The different stitches are easy to set and use, I didn't have to read the manual to use it. I have not tried the button holer yet. The threading mechanism is ok, but everything has to be lined up just right or it won't work. For now it is easier to do it myself. The piece that was broken off of the bobbin winding unit is not necessary, and gave me great savings. I would recomend this machine for any basic sewing.
