User questions & answers

Question:	Is this machine dual voltage? (does) the voltage allow up to 220v
Answer:	It is not dual voltage, 110V only. I contacted Brother who said I can use a stepdown transformer, BUT they do not recommend it. Still, since I bought this on Amazon and I live in the Philippines, freight back was not something I wanted to lay on anyone. Therefore, I bought a 500 Watt step down transformer to ensure I made the 2 amp requirement for operation. I carefully plugged everything in and all work perfectly. The 500 watt transformer handles things beautifully. My lady loves the Brother and says it does everything she could want. She just made fitted sheets for our bed and they came out perfect. She highly recommends this machine.
Question:	Can you drop the feed dogs on this model, or only cover them up
Answer:	The feed dogs do not drop but there is a darning plate that covers them. I have done a bit of free motion quilting with it and it works well.
Question:	Does it come with a walking foot for quilting
Answer:	The XR3774 comes with a walking foot.
Question:	Is it heavy duty enough to hem or repair denim jeans
Answer:	Absolutely, I have done 3 pair of heavy jeans, worked perfectly. Great machine!

User questions & answers

Question:	What brand of thread is recommended? Buying for granddaughter and want to send her thread
Answer:	Hello - I generally buy a cotton/poly blend - it is durable and quite easily found. Coates & Clarke is a vey well known brand. It would also help if you knew what kind of projects she might be undertaking...the weight of the thread varies with the task. I just googled "Brand names for sewing Threads"and there were a variety of experts writing on the subject if you want to take the exploration further...Good luck!
Question:	is the LED lit up pretty bright comparing to the bulb counterpart in prev models like XL2600i or XL
Answer:	I have no reference to compare how bright as I am new to sewing. However, the light is very bright and I had no difficulty seeing what I was doing.
Question:	Can it sew denim material? Like to fix a pair of jeans
Answer:	I went through three layers of denim. It was awesome
Question:	So this is my first time purchasing a sewing machine. Is it easy to use for beginners

User questions & answers

Question:	I love this machine but i have alot of tension problems - the thread on bottom keeps bunching up - i'm sure its inexperience but can someone help me please
Answer:	It can definitely handle multiple layers of fabric, and fabric of different types. It can even handle different amounts of layers in the same sewed piece--the main presser foot has a knob you pull out to hold the foot at the level you want. The topstitch footer assumes multiple layers of fabric. You may need to guide the fabric through a bit to make sure it doesn't get stuck, but otherwise, does fine. For denim, I'm assuming you're asking about hemming jeans. I didn't cut off the original hem, so the machine struggled a bit at the seams since at that point it was 6+ denim layers. I just went back and reinforced those areas by hand. I haven't tried leather specifically, but I imagine it would work as long as you have the right needle.
Question:	what is the throat space
Answer:	I believe so. I never have to adjust the tension.
Question:	Does it come with any feet? Free motion
Answer:	Juki is a Japanese company with factories in Japan, Vietnam, and China. All their machines are designed in Japan and produced in one of those three factories. I believe this model comes out of the China Factory. Thanks, Oren
Question:	how large is the harp/throat (the area from the needle over to the RIGHT side of the machine -that part that holds the motor
Answer:	It does have a hard cover although there is an opening on top for the carry handle (which is attached to the machine). I put a small hand towel over mine just to make sure it stays clean and dust free. I really do love this sewing machine and hope to keep it for a long time!

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it easy to thread
Answer:	Sorry I can't help.
Question:	My question is can this machine sew hems on demin pants
Answer:	Yes, if used with heavy thread.
Question:	Is the internal workings, gears and working parts of this machine metal or plastic? Roger Bon
Answer:	I think so. It fits my sewing machine and it's a Kenmore. (very old)
Question:	is this machine good for beginners
Answer:	This needle is the largest needle that the everyday (at home) type of sewing machine can use and is the right size for jeans, especially several layers of jeans' material if you are repairing or hemming jeans. The needle can also handle a heavier 100% cotton thread that you would want to use on this material. Any sewing shop or department in a chain store with a sewing section should have a heavy-duty "jeans" thread. Good Luck!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you embroider with this machine
Answer:	Even though this machine is not an embroidery machine, you can learn to do beautiful embroidery work on it by learning free motion embroidery. In fact, one of the cool presser feet that comes with this machine is the open toe darning foot, which is a bonus!... People who wish to embroider, use this foot to do so. You Tube has many fine videos that will show you how to do free motion embroidery, on a regular machine, with just an everyday wooden hoop. Just type in free motion embroidery tutorials in the you tube search area, and you will be busy for hours, learning to this method. Enjoy!
Question:	Is this easy to use
Answer:	Depends what you want it for. Simple sewing like clothing or piecing quilt tops should be okay - putting quilts together NO! The throat is not big enough for free motion quilting and it doesn’t do well with bulky material. Your needle will snap, bobbin will have a nervous breakdown and you’ll get error codes that will make you want to pull your hair out when you try to clear them. But if you set on buying this model or the CS6000i here is the skinny - it is easy to use if you stick to the book or YouTube for help and FOLLOW the step by step instructions. It’s a cute machine for newbies but an albatross around experienced quilters necks
Question:	how could 2,000 people give this a good review and another 150 absolutely hate the same machine
Answer:	Because it's a review, some reviews aren't anything more than "it sucks". But for only 150 people out of 2,000 people don't like or understand the machine, that's pretty damn good.
Question:	is this one suggested for a beginner
Answer:	This would be a GREAT machine for a beginner. I've sewn for at least 60 yrs and have had machines that cost as much as $2,000, and to me this is the best. I'm an avid believer that one should read the manual first and recommend for you to do this. You will be able to nicely grow into this machine and should have no regrets with the purchase. I love idea that you can sew without using a presser foot, but can control your stitches on the front of the machine. Love to be able to see when the bobbin is getting low, various speeds, even some decorative stitches for you. It's quiet, fun, light weight for taking to classes, or for my motorhome. Can't say enough, I JUST LOVE THIS MACHINE, it's all I could ever want. Please read the manual. Hope this helps. JMD

Answer:	It is the same part number it shows in the manual- that is how I got here.
Question:	Can this machine really sew through many layers of denim

Answer:	Yes, the Brother SA212 does fit the 1134D serger.
Question:	Does it have extra high presser foot lift capability
Answer:	Yes it will but take small bits of material and elastin of the material use intend to use to get the tension just right
