evanaeThank you for you guys' input! I went ahead with the teal one. Let's hope it'll be good to its new momma when it comes in. :)
Real quick before I go to work.
Does anyone know anything about either of these two Brother sewing machines?
Machine A - XL2610
and
Machine B - XL2600I
I think it's time for a new machine, but I can't decide which one.
They seem to be really similar. Both have 25 built-in stitches. I think the only difference really is that Machine A (the pink one) has a 4-step button hole stitcher/maker whereas Machine B (the teal one) has a 1-step one. But then again, I've never had to make button holes (so far at least...). 8D;;
A seems to have less reports, based on Amazon reviews only, of not being able to sew through thicker fabrics compared to B and has an automatic bobbin winding system that I think B doesn't. B's slightly smaller and lighter than A.
They're basically the same MSRP. Just that B is currently 42% off compared to the other's 18% off.
I also am not sure what variable needle positions (which B has) mean compared to preset. I'm guessing preset (which A has) is left, center, right? Then variable mean you can move the needle...ANYWHERE? Lol.
Or can you suggest another sewing machine? I'm willing to spend under $200 cuz I don't need it to do much nor do I need any fancy smancy electronic ones. I'm too used to using a mechanical.
Any input will be appreciated! Thanks.
