 Great machine for the sewing novice..... November 23, 2008
I can see how this machine would be a great pick as a first machine for youth. It is very easy to use and seems quite durable. Also, the pedal is very pressure precise, so it makes it very easy to control. I don't sew very well and wanted an easy-to-use machine that offered no complications in set-up, etc.....I am so pleased to say that I just finished making some custom drapes for my 15-foot guest bedroom with ease! I am so thrilled with how easy it was to use this machine, and the bobbin never jammed, the needle never un-threaded and the tension stayed consistent for a machine that is so economically-priced. It's a real winner if you want a sewing machine that is user-friendly, lightweight, a good beginner's model, and is good for any project...
Simply Excellent November 16, 2008
I have no words to say how happy I am with my new Sewing machine. Cheap, good quality and excellent!. I recommend 200%
Use the enclosed plastic bobbins November 15, 2008

I had problems right away until I read the directions and saw that you must use the enclosed plastic bobbins and not my own metal ones. It worked beautifully with the plastic bobbin in place.
I bought a low end brother machine 20 yrs ago that came broken. The manufacturer replaced it and the 2nd one had the same problems. I lost interest in sewing because it was such a hassle to wrestle with the thread and never be able to finish a project or make anything that looked nice finished.
I've been sewing simple seams with a machine that was basically a toy. It was time for a real machine but I hesitated to buy another because of my past experience.
Wal-Mart had this machine on sale for $69 so I finally bought one.
It seems to be quite an improvement from my first machine but from the wide ranging reviews on this page and my own personal past experience, I think you either get a working machine or you don't.
If you didn't get a working one, its under warranty so keep giving it back till they get you one that works. But make sure you're using the plastic bobbin first.
I wonder if my machine from 20 yrs ago would have worked with a plastic bobbin?
 Very efficient November 3, 2008

I purchased this sewing machine so that I could leave it at my quilting group. I have another Brother sewing machine at home that has a lot more functions, but it is heavy. The Brother LS2125i is fairly light weight and fine for straight stitching. It does have a buttonholer which I will probably never use, but it is nice to know I have the option. This machine is relatively inexpensive and is fine for the what I intend to use it for. It is noisy, but functions well.
Dependable, lightweight machine October 30, 2008
I received this machine at the end of September 2008 and have been
satisfied with it. I gave it four stars because there is one unsatisfactory feature, the plastic handle that controls the presser lever. It feels weak, as if it
wouldn't take much force to break it. Brother 2125i is good for someone
who doesn't sew too much. I use it, at most, for half an hour at a time.
Brother describes it as a machine for mending and sewing. Making a
buttonhole is a four step process, I have not tried it. I went through all the basic zig zag and straight stitches and all stitches were satisfactory.
[...]A sewing machine is a mechanical device, I oiled it as soon as I received it.
It is lightweight, and I wanted something I could easily put on a table.
The 2125i is good for someone like myself who just wants to do a little
light sewing or for someone new to sewing machines and not ready to
invest in a heavy duty one.
