Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Brother xr9550 is an easy-to-use computerized sewing machine. The embroidery option is fantastic! It takes time to set up the lettering but worth it because it sews a crisp print. Not hard to thread with the automated threader.



Cons

Just everything about it seems small, tight and cumbersome. What a letdown. The machine is lightweight and cheaply made.

The machine is very noisy and sounds like it is working really hard - grinding, groaning, just noisy. Feed dogs keep jamming. Constantly having to unscrew needle plate and remove bobbin case.

The automatic threader is a complete failure from the very first attempt to use this machine. Frequently snags thread at the spool and causes stoppages. Does not pick up the right zag thread.

Thia is so frustrating for a new sewing machine that is supposed to be beginner friendly. If you try to sew a quarter inch seam, the designated presser foot chews the top layer or fabric.

After 6 months of using it, cleaning it, caring for it etc it just refuses to work. It will be repaired.
