This little 8-pound wonder is simply amazing. Brother is one of the leading manufacturers of consumer sewing machines. Once a staple appliance in nearly everyone's home, the sewing machine was gradually replaced by neighborhood tailors. In recent years, however, there's been a creative return to making and tailoring clothes at home. The Brother XL-2600i has features that your parents and grandparents could barely fantasize about. From automatic buttonholes, a veritable menu of exciting stitches, to free arm sewing (for easily hemming pants, sleeves, and skirts), the XL-2600i will become one of the most prominent appliances in your home. Whether art or necessity, this compact, sewing machine is for you.
