Brother CS7205 Computerized Machine, 150 Built Stitches, 1 Font, Wide Table, 11 Sewing Feet, White

I own a high-end Janome Skyline and love it, but do not want to take it to sewing events due to it's weight and size. I purchased the CS7205 because it's an easy and light weight machine that I could take with me. On top of that, I did not want to spend a lot of money on a 2nd machine. It does not have an auto thread cutter, nor an automatic knot feature at the end of a stitch, but I knew that before I purchased it, so that is OK. The CS7205 is very easy to set up and thread. Note: I found a video on YouTube showing how to use the auto threader. I slowed the video down to 25% speed. Once I saw how to thread it in super slow motion, I caught on immediately. Once I watched the video one time, it has threaded correctly every time and on the 1st attempt - super quick and easy! It comes with 11 feet, one of which is a foot with a line guide to assist you with sewing in a straight line. It also comes with a walking foot- that alone can cost someone anywhere from $40.00 to $60.00 by itself. The stiches come out nice and even. This machine is super easy to use and the directions are well written. I use it to sew light to medium weight garment fabrics, so I most likely will not use the vast array of stiches. This is a great machine for a beginner or advanced beginner; super easy to use. I use it to sew dresses and skirts. Love it! The first night I owned it, I created a stich map of every stitch I thought I would use and numbered each one according to the stitch chart on the machine. It's nice to have an actual stitch reference to look at when needed.

If I could give a ten star review for this product I would do so. I'll try to be brief with this review but I make no promises. . I am a 69 year old female who has been sewing since pterodactyls flew and thats a hell of a long time. I have owned and managed to burn out several top of the line machines including the Viking #1+ , Bernina 880+ the Bernina 750 and Bernina 450, Pfaff 1475CD. They functioned well with the exception of Bernina (supposedly the gold standard..I have gone thru three of them) So...I finally purchased a Juki Industrial machine however it does nothing but straight stitch and I am a garment sewer and unless you wish to live in caftans which rarely require a buttonhole I needed another machine and so I took the plunge .... What a revelation ... This little gem of a machine has every feature of the top end machines, sews a wonderful stitch, is quiet and is so very easy to learn and operate especially after going through all of the customizing and digitizing software packages I had to learn for the embroidery on the aforementioned machines. Not a job for the faint of heart. I also taught sewing machine "how to" and software for Viking Husqvarna for many years. I sew most everything I wear ( I get bored ) and sew nearly everyday so my machines take a beating. Why I never considered an inexpensive machine is beyond my level of comprehension. I guess thinking more expensive meant better results..well it doesnt and figuring I dont have a lifetime of sewing still ahead of me I 'd take the chance of the Brother machine before investing in yet another very expensive machine . Hold your breath.... a new top of the line Bernina will cost you the staggering and shameful price of $23,000. I think manufacturers think women are ignorant and easy targets. I could purchase a new car for the price of some of these new machines especially when adding all of the extras I of course, always had to get...especially feet and embroidery supplies. I digress... this little machine came with nearly every foot I use consistently even a walking foot which can cost you a cool $100. This machine is only two hundred dollars and this foot is included? Are you getting the picture? I am thrilled with this machine and its accessories. I know how tempting it is to think buying more expensive leads to better sewing but I can assure you it does not. Perhaps if I stop sewing long enough I can upload a video along side this review but I wouldn't count on it. So..in conclusion you will not find a better value for your dollar. Thank you Brother for offering a great product at an unbelievable , reasonable and affordable price ( you now have no excuse to not sew) you deserve a gold medal.

Love this machine! After setting it up and using it it runs so nicely and smoothly! I’m really glad I got it!!

I did a lot of comparing machines before I purchased this Brother. I was used to sewing on a very large sophisticated, expensive sewing/embroidery machine. The machine has now become too heavy for me to lift to put on my kitchen table where I have to sew. When I received my new Brother I was in the middle of a project and decided to start sewing with it immediately. The directions were very clear and the longer I sewed the more functions I was able to use. This machine is unbelievable for the price and quality. I am an experienced sewer and this machine has the bells and whistles that you would find on a much more expensive machine. It is lightweight and can easily be moved off of the table and stored while not in use. The up and down needle position button is great. I have used this machine a lot and have not found one negative yet. I highly recommend this machine to a beginner or advanced sewer.

I've had this Wonderful machine for two years now, never have had an issue with jamming. It flows.

I replaced my seven year-old brother self threading machine because I wanted a more very slow machine with a quilting table. This machine is great. Only one complaint the self threader is manual, difficult to use.

Purchased in 9/25 & have really been impressed with this. I basically make craft projects w/quilting & the occasional hemming, etc. It’s really nice to use. I like that I can use the pedal or not, can use fancy top stitching to make the project stand out. The needle lift & reverse button is great! I don’t think this machine has been fussy about anything I throw at it so far- highly recommend Brother sewing machines.

I am a beginner. Probably overkill, since I am not likely to ever get into embroiding or sophisticated clothes design. But I bought this machine for its simplicity of threading, the complete ability to control speed without developing foot pedal dexterity, its light weight, and overall elegance and value. No regrets, and for the little jobs I wanted it for, perfect, and a feeling of accomplishment.

Excelente equipo. Es una máquina más que bonita, práctica, fácil de usar y muy intuitiva. Es la primera vez que confecciono un producto y me quedaron muy bien unas fundas para cojín. Relación costo beneficio al 100. Totalmente recomendable.
