Brother AE2500 Sewing Machine

Product Information

Since no matter what your experience is, you have all rights to own high-quality equipment that will allow you to improve your work, be intuitive in use, and serve you for many long years. When it comes to sewing machines, this is what we expect from Brother and Singer companies. The “F”-“1” range is for making a satin stitch (closed zigzag stitch), which is used for making buttonholes and decorative stitches. The position needed for making the satin stitch varies according to the material and thread being used. To determine the exact dial position, first test the stitch and length settings on a scrap piece of fabric to observe the feeding of the material.

To unplug the machine, switch the machine to the symbol “O” position to turn it off, then grasp the plug and pull it out of the electrical outlet. Do not pull on the cord. When transporting the machine, be sure to carry it by its handle. Lifting the machine by any other part may damage the machine or result in the machine falling, which could cause injuries. Use only neutral soaps or detergents to clean the case. Benzene, thinner, and scouring powders can damage the case and machine, and should never be used.In case you use a pin cushion, stiff it with steel wool. It will sharpen your pins each time you push them into it. Many will agree that it doesn't actually matter whether you are a novice or a professional tailor and whether you need a sewing machine for a small tailor shop or for home use. Always unplug the machine from the electrical outlet immediately after using, when cleaning, when making any user servicing adjustments mentioned in this manual, or if you are leaving the machine unattended. It doesn’t matter whether you are new to sewing or have been doing it for years, threading the needle can be a hard task at times. Unfortunately, the Brother AE2500 doesn’t comes with an automatic needle threader it is however a simple process to thread the needle. You can find full instructions on how to thread the needle on both the instructional DVD and in the users manual. Portability

Keep an eye out for models of sewing machines that have a wide selection of foot attachments; foot attachments are necessary for different components of sewing. You will need different foot attachments if you plan on doing things like inserting a zipper or sewing on a button. The Brother AE1700 is a traditional basic sewing machine with qualities that make it well-suited for those new to sewing. With 17 different stitches a four step button hole and automatic bobbin winder, it has the basics covered for a good beginner sewing machine. It comes with a number of accessories and presser feet. In addition it features a twin needle allowing you to get more creative with decorative stitches on a wide range of fabrics. In total there are four presser feet included when you buy the Brother AE1700. These are more geared towards making clothes, which is why I recommend this machine as a good choice for beginners and any budding fashionistas out there. It is also suitable for home furnishings and similar sewing projects and is a quite versatile machine. Like many other modern sewing machines and especially models from Brother, the A150 features a convenient LCD screen that shows up a lot of important information, like the type of the selected stitch, lettering, and the stitching speed, among others. When storing this machine, avoid direct sunlight and high humidity locations. Do not use or store the machine near a space heater, iron, halogen lamp, or other hot objects.Aiming to save some money, you can opt for larger spools of thread. In case there is no suitable holder for such a big bobbin on your sewing machine, using a big mug may help you hold a spool in place. The next thing to consider is how many sewing options the chosen model provides. By this, we mean buttonhole, stitch variety and adjustability, speed capacity, etc. As a rule, all Brother sewing machines allow for adjusting stitches and offer a few standard designs of buttonholes. The more sophisticated model of your choice is the more options it will have. As for a stitch pattern variety, the best Brother sewing machines feature at least several types of different stitches including straight standard, zigzags, blind stitches, applique, quilting stitches and so on. A number of designs in most modern sewing machines now may vary from ten to hundreds of options. And even though most of them will never be used, it's still nice to have a greater choice. Speed adjustability is another function that comes in handy when it comes to sewing soft, elastic, and delicate fabrics that tend to fold in the process. It allows for controlling the process making it easier for beginner tailors to get the hang of sewing. Accessories

The scallop stitches that are included on this machine are not very dense, so there is not much payoff if you choose to use them. To sew in reverse, push the reverse sewing lever in as far as possible and hold it in that position while you lightly push the foot controller. To sew forward, release the reverse sewing lever. The machine will then sew forward.Do not push or pull the fabric when sewing, and follow careful instruction when freehand stitching so that you do not deflect the needle and cause it to break. The accessories that come with the Brother AE2500 aren’t by any means anything to brag about. However, it does come with a darning plate which is a positive. Due to the fact that you cant drop the feed dogs on this machine the darning plate allows you to perform free motion sewing. The Innovis A50 is a basic automatic model from Brother that has all the standard features of a great line of the products designed for high-quality sewing but it can definitely be something more than that in the right hands.

Weighing in at 6.6kg, this sewing machine isn’t the best choice for those that regularly go to sewing classes. This is a good indicator of a well-built sewing machine and is always a good sign that you aren’t buying a cheap sewing machine made mainly of plastic components. Included Accessories Four snap on presser feet (a buttonhole foot, a button foot, a zipper foot, and an all purpose foot) Only use presser feet that have been designed to be used with this machine. Using any other presser foot may cause accident or injury. As far as the numbers are concerned, the A50 has 50 different stitching patterns which should suffice most of your sewing needs. Although it has less variations of stitching styles, 50 will be more than enough for both amateur and professional seamstresses and tailors.The Brother Innovis A150 features an astonishing number of 150 pre-programmed stitches, which is quite a lot to start with. However, the big number of available stitching patterns is not the only thing that makes this device special. If your foot pedal always wanders around and you can't control it, attach some rubber lining to its bottom, it will help. Like most Brother sewing machines the Brother AE2500 is designed with simplicity in mind and it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that it is designed in a way that even a newcomer to sewing can get to grips with it in only a short amount of time. Similar to the Brother AE1700 It has a drop in bobbin and an automatic bobbin winder, so you no longer need to wind your bobbins manually.
