Wonderful basic sewing machine!
I have been sewing for over 40 years and so I am well aquainted with sewing machines starting with my grandmother’s treadle White to my current Viking.
My Viking had to go for its yearly tension repair so I was left ( not terribly happily , I might add) in the middle of a project that required a lot of straight and zigzag stitching ….. I decided to buy a good BACKUP machine.
I read reviews and checked the Consumer Report (March 2009) and found the Brother XL2600I. I decided that if the reviews were correct then this was exactly what I was looking for….and it was and is. This is a great little basic machine. The stitches are uniform, the tension is amazingly perfect , and the instructional manual is EASY to understand . This machine allows the project to be the focus of the sewing experince.
The price is exceptional for the quality of the product. It’s a good buy.

Great machine for basic sewers, including kids
I work with children, and wanted a machine for the girls, ages 8 and up, who are working on small projects. I can move this machine easily, and with a little guidance, the children do fine with it. I have been likewise been inspired to resume some sewing myself, which I haven’t done in many years. So far, the machine has been very forgiving of our sewing blunders. I chose this machine based on the review in Consumer Reports, and found that Amazon had a great price relative to other sources.

At first, a great deal!
I purchased the Brother XL2600I to use while visiting my daughter in another state. I used the machine to make a shirt with buttons as well as an apron out of canvas. I was quite impressed with the quality of the stitches for such an inexpensive machine. It did a great job sewing through multiple layers of canvas and the button holes were perfect!
Then, before packing it up, I decided to check out the bobbin case and clean up any lint. It was nearly impossible to remove the plate over the bobbin. The plate is in two parts of which one is plastic. I have to admit, that I did not look in the Owner’s Manual, but figured removing the plate is a no brainer. (I have used dozens of machines over the years and have been sewing for over 40 years!) Eventually I was able to remove the plates and re-assemble everything. I am concerned that routine maintenance on this machine will be a problem but only time will tell!!
