In this review we will be taking a closer look at the individual features of the Brother AE2500 stitch sewing machine and seeing if it lives up to the hype of being both suitable for beginners and experienced sewers alike. Hopefully, by the end of this review you will be able to decide if it is worth spending your hard earned money on.

There can be various reasons for this. The needle may not be the correct one for the selected fabric, the needle may have been set too low, the fabric may not be properly guided or the bobbin case may be placed incorrectly. Price is another really important factor for analysing the quality of Brother AE2500 Stitch Sewing Machine vs other products in the Sewing machines category. It’s obvious, but you will need to set your expectations of quality based on your budget and the price of the product you’re looking at, against the price of alternatives. The first is brand. Looking at the brand of the product is often a really good indicator for judging product quality. For example you’d expect a much higher quality product from a brand known for providing excellent quality than you would from an unknown or even a budget brand. If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list. 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

The Brother AE1700 comes with a 51 watt motor similar to the Brother AE2500. Compared to the similar priced Singer 1507, which has a 85 watt motor, the difference in power is noticeable. That been said, you will have no problems sewing through multiple layers with this machine. Brother are well-known for their high-quality motors and although they may be less powerful in terms of Wattage than similar priced machines, they are always capable of doing their job. Stitch Quality and Speed When buying any sewing machine the amount of stitches it has and the variety of stitches are one of the main concerns for any potential buyer. Fortunately, the Brother AE2500 offers very good value for money as it has an impressive 25 stitches. This includes 12 stretch stitches and a bunch of utility stitches. It is a great machine for working with a wide variety of fabrics these include natural fibers like cotton, linen, or wool, fine fabrics like, silk, satin or velvet, knits, and synthetic fabrics like blends or polyester. In total there are four presser feet included with the Brother AE2500. In terms of usage they are more geared towards making clothes. This is one of the reasons why I have on numerous occasions recommended this sewing machine to those that are looking to take up sewing mainly for that reason. It can also be converted to free arm for the sewing of cuffs and sleeves.

The LED light that comes on this machine is extremely bright and illuminates whatever part of your project you happen to be working on at the time.Sewing is great fun and buying your first sewing machine is very exciting. Consider the Brother AE2500 sewing machine for your first one. It is a great starter sewing machine and has all of the features you need to learn the basics.

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. 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.The accessories included with this sewing machine are the standard ones that you get with most machines. However, there is a darning plate. Due to you not being able to drop the feed dogs on the Brother AE1700 sewing machine you can’t do free motion sewing. The inclusion of the darning plate gives you the option of free motion sewing adding even more versatility to this already very versatile machine. If you are truly a beginner, then you do not really have a need for superfluous decorative stitches. While decorative stitches can be tempting, having them on your sewing machine can increase its price.

Home > Hobby & Leisure > Sewing Machines > Brother Sewing Machines > Brother AE2500 Sewing Machine Manual Brother AE2500 Sewing Machine Weighing 6.7 Kg this is by no means considered a lightweight sewing machine. This is however a good indication that it has many parts made of metal rather than plastic, which is always a good sign as metal parts are far more durable. If you are thinking about taking it to sewing classes just be sure that you don’t have to walk too far before you get to your class. Included Accessories Time and time again I have let it be known that I have personally always preferred a top loading bobbin than a drop in bobbin. That been said, this machine does have a drop in bobbin. This isn’t a bad thing just a matter of personal preference.

Four snap on presser feet (a buttonhole foot, a button foot, a zipper foot, and an all purpose foot) This varies between manufacturers, but in general a needle will last about 8 hours. It might take longer for the needle to break, but before that it will have become blunt and might damage the fabric.
