Brother machines are consistent in offering surprising luxuries at decent prices, and the Brother XL-3750 is a stellar example of this.
You don’t often find an automatic needle threader and a one-step automatic buttonholer in a mechanical sewing machine—but still priced to attract buyers looking for a first sewing machine.

Frustrations with the Brother XL3750
As with other models of Brother sewing machine, the thread tension on the The Brother XL-3750 can be finicky. Users without experience (or patience) with adjusting the thread tension may find it troublesome to use this Brother quilting sewing machine.
Experienced reviewers, however, report success with trial and error using scrap material and a light hand, and lots of patience.
Experienced reviewers also emphasize the importance of using the proper needles for different types and weights of fabric. (You should properly size your needles for any sewing project, anyway.)
Some reviewers feel the machine's compact size makes the throat size a challenge for handling large quilts, but others feel that this is an easy thing to get around and the lightweight, relatively quiet running and sweet price point make an acceptable tradeoff.
Some reviewers reported defective operation of the thread tension dial. But, given the Brother XL3750's value pricing, you would commonly pay more for a mechanical sewing machine repair (on another machine) than you will pay for the Brother XL3750 free arm model itself.
Finishing Off
Most reviewers are happy with the Brother XL-3750--the price is fantastic, given the free arm sewing features, and the capabilities that push this Brother machine far past basic machine quilting.
This Brother quilting machine would make an excellent gift for a quilter with sewing needs—and it's priced right for a first sewing machine.
