Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brother ES2000 77 Stitch Function Computerized Free Arm Sewing Machine
Customer Review: Not hard-wearing
Summary: 2 Stars
March 2011 - I'm updating this review based on the heavy use I put it through the past year (downgraded from 4 stars). When I first bought the machine I rarely used it but when I did I completed several projects at once. This past year I started an Etsy shop and found the need for sewing everyday. I'm not talking about making leather bags or premium denim, just your average quilt-weight cottons, some linens, and occasionally heavy interfacing. The machine could not handle thick layers. And while I understand it's not meant to sew through 10+ layers on a consistent basis all I needed was for it to sew through five layers at the handle-to-bag points. The tension became insane, too tight/too loose on either top or bottom stitching and it would not go back, even after I had it "fixed" by a repair shop (for $65). The shop managed to fix the timing however so I could start to reuse it. A month after it's repair the timing broke again. I refuse to pay for another visit to the shop, another$65 and that's basically the cost of this machine!! It's true you get what you pay for. Light projects with intermittent use is the best use for this type of machine.
I bought this machine as a substitute to my grandmother's heirloom Singer. I had some hesitation with a machine that was computerized because I'm very accustomed to the standard knob and dial machines. Overall this is a great piece of equipment.
Advantages: Great manual, it will tell you how to do almost everything you'd like to do with the machine. Numerous accessories, several feet, bobbins, and other standard sewing pieces come courtesy of Brother. The ease of switching feet, the automatic threader (which, not to be misleading, you still have to manually wind the thread through the machine, this model comes with an arm that pulls the thread through the needle for you - hence the name). The drop-in bobbin. Goes through most fabrics readily, including double and triple folded materials (with exception of some sturdier fabrics - i.e. leather). One of the quietest motors I've ever worked with. Easy to trouble shoot.
Disadvantages: You can only use the bobbin model that comes with the machine, it won't accept any other kinds. The dome light is very dim. The machine also tends to be overly sensitive to you manually poking around. When I first turned on the machine I nudged the needle, to which the LED display immediately flashed an E6 warning (that was an easy fix, I just turned it off then back on). To get all the stitch functions it take some time getting used to the four control buttons. Which, again, not to be misleading the "77" stitches are variations of 35+ standard ones. I also didn't understand I hadn't wound the bobbin thread all the way through either, it resulted in terrible tension control during my first project. You may be trouble shooting a lot until you get to used to the machine. But the majority of the time the problems are simple and once fixed you'll never have that problem again.

Sewing advances into the twenty-first century with this computerized free arm sewing machine from Brother.

While only one needle comes installed in the machine, the machine accommodates twin-needle stitching. The sewer engages reverse operation manually. Five diverse one-step styles insert buttonholes, automatically sized, in garments. Accessories are stored in a built-in compartment. Users carry the machine on the provided handle for travel. As with any electrical devise, read the safety guidelines and instructions thoroughly prior to use.
