This is my first sewing machine and I like it so far. I’ve been using it in sewing class and have created a couple easy projects. My only downside is that I did not get a manual or DVD as stated. Other than that, I’ve been using YouTube to help me understand each of the stitches. I’ve bought a suitcase for my machine so it’s easy to carry and I think the price is reasonable.

I am so happy with this machine. First of all the instruction manual is the best one I have seen for any product for decades. It's very detailed and I highly recommend you read it first. It has very good tips in it. Secondly, the threading patterns are printed right on the machine! And it has a needle threader right there. Threading the needle is super easy. So is winding a new bobbin, flawless. Thirdly, I've already made several things of different weights, including lightweight cottons, mending bath towels and working with upholstery materials, and I haven't had a single problem with the thread knotting/bunching up. The foot pedal is fine, medium weight/duty. Everything I sew, I am so happy this is the machine I bought. This Brother ST371HD sews like a charm. Great for beginner or advanced sewers. I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Expectations
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2020
Style: ST371HDVerified Purchase
I can’t fully review the mechanics of the Brother ST371HD sewing machine because I received it yesterday. After I use the machine for a while, I will add to my review.

The reason I’m doing a review before using the machine is to express my amazement regarding the FAST delivery of the sewing machine. I ordered the sewing machine on a Wednesday & received it early morning on the following Friday! (yesterday). I live in a rural area & I allow a week or more for my “many” amazon deliveries. This delivery was a pleasant surprise. Good Job UPS & Good Job Brother Sewing Machine Seller!

I do want to say that I did research before purchasing this sewing machine. This is my 2nd Brother Sewing Machine. I purchased my first Brother Sewing Machine in 1975. I used it until it broke in 2013. I loved that machine! It was dependable & easy to use. I don’t sew a lot but I sew enough crafty & mending projects to warrant owning a sewing machine. My mother & my grandmother were Great seamstress. They made their own clothes plus mine & my siblings. I learned to sew from them, mainly from my grandmother.

One thing I do want to say is that in the QUESTIONS area for this sewing machine description, several people ask which compatible sewing machine case to buy. Brother answers with a “recommended” case. When comparing the size of the Brother sewing machine with the “recommended” case, the width of the Brother Sewing Machine is more than the width of the “recommended” case. I asked a QUESTION regarding the width discrepancy & received an answer from Brother saying there is no “recommended” case for this particular Brother model. I did find & ordered a Sewing Machine Case with larger measurements than the Sewing Machine so I hope that case works for my lifetime with my new Brother Sewing Machine.

Also when doing research, I found a similar but slightly better Brother Sewing Machine. However, the other Brother Model was not available or was out of stock at all the bigger well known shopping chains, to include Amazon. That Brother Sewing Machine model is ST531HD. It’s a few dollars more & has a few more features than my Brother ST371HD (ST = Strong & Tough, 37 stitches, & HD = Heavy Duty).

Of note is that when my almost 40-year-old 1975 Brother Sewing Machine broke, I replaced it with a comparable Singer Sewing Machine. I think it was Singer’s Anniversary Model for that year? After several attempts at trying to learn how to use it, I gave up because it was too complicated for me. It’s brand new sitting in a closet for the last 7 years.

After I use my Brother sewing machine, I will update my review.

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022
Style: ST371HDVerified Purchase
I am a seamstress who has used $90 Brothers for many years but they had a hard time sewing hems on jeans. Time for an upgrade but wanted to stay with Brother bc I already have so many presser feet and didn't want a learning curve with a new brand. This heavier duty machine handles jeans and other heavy fabrics easily. My only complaint is the needle threading mechanism sticks and I can't thread "sheer" needles with it. The plastic part that goes around the needle sticks and bends the sheer needles. The only other glitch is the thread loop right above the needle is sharp and cuts the thread if I'm not super careful while threading. Otherwise I'm happy with this machine

This is my first sewing machine and I like it so far. I’ve been using it in sewing class and have created a couple easy projects. My only downside is that I did not get a manual or DVD as stated. Other than that, I’ve been using YouTube to help me understand each of the stitches. I’ve bought a suitcase for my machine so it’s easy to carry and I think the price is reasonable.

5.0 out of 5 stars sews through 4 layers of canvas cloth

I sold or returned 2 Singer so-called heavy duty sewing machines, the 4411, and 4452, because they did not sew through heavier fabrics at all. The 4452 got really loud with 3 layers of flannel, even with a size 16 needle, and 2 layers of denim. I tested this Brother as soon as I got it. Really pay attention to the instructions while setting up and testing. Manual, quick guide and cd are included. I sewed through 6 layers of muslin and 4 layers of heavier canvas (straight and zig zag stitches) with no trouble at all, no loud noise, what a relief. If it lasts a long time, I'm a very happy sewer. The price is also great for what this Brother can do.

Very good for heavy duty items. Such as jeans (denim) and gabardine. I have been using it for retouching my pants and some tops. I am using it to saw some materials but it have to be cotton, polyester and hard satin. I can not saw well a nylon material as well as it saw the cotton and other fabrics, but it is good and quiet.
