I thank very much for your reviews. My question is how come machines used to last for over 100 years. I have a Destiny and is a 10 years old machine. Its an old machine. And people say that there are no more parts available. So I think that is tottaly unfair. Just unethical.

I try Babylock and Brother. The difference among them is the Dysney design are the big difference. I try both and I truly prefer the Babylock.

I own a Babylock Solaris Vision along with several other modern and vintage machines. I traded my Destiny for the Solaris and will stop there. The Solaris is wonderful…but it is too heavy to make it a classroom/retreat option. It also did not fit in my Koala Studio. Luckily I have an Aria that is a perfect fit. My Dealer has tried to get me to upgrade, but I am quite content with my current sewing machine fleet. Thank you for such a thorough review.

I have bought sheet sets to use as yardage when making sleepwear.

And not PES format. That was the final straw for me. Not going to fool with it. Will use what I have. No way do I want to have to fool with every embroidery file.

I doubt Brother makes 1,000 of the Aveneer. Way too expensive. I will keep my Stellaire XJ2. At least I got a good price on the Stellaire. Just not worth the $$. I kept getting emails from Brother on the Aveneer. They finally stopped sending the emails. If anything I hope this pushes down the price for all the other Brother sewing machines.

amazing comparative consumer research. thank you for sharing

Too big not only will you need a big table you will need a big room so your table can be way out from the wall when that big embroidery hoop is on to keep from hitting the wall. The weight is just too much for most gals. Price is way too much. And I don’t like designs as big as that biggest hoop. Thinks they are being cheap in only giving 4 hoops with that price machine.NOT a machine I would even consider.

The price is too expensive. It’s just a 1000 dollars shy of what I spent on my new car in 2021! I could never justify it. (Or afford it) also, much of the ‘bells and whistles’ are things I would ever use.

Thanks for the information! I been there and I don't want to do that anymore. Sellers don't tell you the truth about the machines!

Thank you. Not a machine I would buy but all info on sewing machines is good.

I have the Janome M17 and love it! The motor is commercial grade and really makes the difference in sewing and embroidery. I have no regrets in my purchase.

This video got me measuring my vintage machines and it turns out I got a whopping 9.5 Inches of harp space on a 1913 Singer 66k so it's taken 111 years for Jones to finally beat Singer at something.

Too much of a thing...is too much of a good thing. I struggle paying for a machine that is 5000.00 for my up grade, combo machines make me nervous one thing goes wrong... you already know Lol and if you are a business owner you lost money.@ deniseg7340 I agree we never use our machines at it's full capacity. New machines come out too soon...every year! People just finished paying off the machines they have. Thanks for the info.

Quite a machine, priced out of my market.

Awesome review! Very thoughtful and honest. As a business analyst I am going to analyze the cost of the machine compared to the upgrades from all the other top of the line machines, encouraged and influenced by your review points. Great job! ❤❤❤

Won't be buying. Too expensive and not a nice looking machine. I have a babylock ellisimo and Bernina 830LE and between them both I have what I want. These machines are too heavy to take anywhere so you would still need another to take to classes or even take to the cottage.

Thank you for the review. For me the major sticking point is that you are only gaining 1 inch of extra width. Had Brother extended the width by more then it may have been worth considering. 12 inches should have been the minimum. Also I would expect the design of the largest hoop and its long length v. short width will allow for fabric slippage despite pinning. It is certainly the case with the Luminaire largest hoop. Most of the other new features and not useful enough to warrant such a high price tag. Not into Disney (most of them are too small to do anything with).

Too expensive. Although I like the features I have a babylock Ellisimo that was a top of the line way back and its fantastic and I still don't use some of the features. For this price I can buy a nice used 2nd vehicle which would take me to all the fabric stores!

I'm just now seeing this review, and I think that it's spot-on. I think you're right in your assessment of who Berninas' target customer is. Older with disposable income. And not just any sewist, but a quilter. That's key, because quilters spend the most money of any consumers in the home sewing industry. So of course they'd build a machine that caters to them. I've heard that these machines are really popular with that demographic. Good for Bernina. Now as to the other thing that you stated about this machine that I find really accurate, and seeing how different manufacturers are debuting new TOL machines, I think what you said applies across the board: "A lot of people get caught up in the features of a new machine, and don't really take the time to consider if the machine is actually for them." Amen to that. When this machine made it's debut, I'll admit that I was drooling. That is, until I did a run-down of how much the payments per month would be, and for how many years until it would officially be mine. And not mine and the banks'. That plus the fact that although it has all kinds of neat stuff in it, what gave me the most pause...well the price did that, but still...was the fact that I'm not a quilter. I'm a garment sewist. Really, all I need are two stitches : straight and zig-zag. All those thousands of other things that the machine can do are mind and pocketbook blowing, but honestly? I wouldn't be using them much, if at all. I've longed for a Bernina for decades, and quite a few years ago now, got one (Artista 730e) from a Craigslist seller. She sold it to me for a song. Four hundred dollars, to be exact, and it was the best money I've spent on sewing products, hands down. I'm in the market for another (the 730 has issues) USED machine. For those that want all the bells and whistles, I think it's great. For others, I'd encourage (whether this or any TOL model) to really think about what one needs out of a machine, the cost and go from there. '

How about oiling it? Does it even have oiling points? I suppose when you have a 25K sewing machine you hire someone to service it once a year. 150 year old sewing machines still run today because people oiled them every time they used them

I wonder who the target customer is for this machine. Certainly not the average domestic sewist and it's not going to stand up to factory of industrial uses. I mean, after Trump and Elon Musk buy one, who's left?

It's a nice machine. It is too expensive to take the risks as with the Viking epic 3. I will watch and wait! Thanks again for sharing!

My Skyline S9 is a 9mm machine, and a 10th of the price. Yes, my hoop is only 6x10, but it was 90% cheaper! Also, how does a projected buttonhole help with vertical spacing if the screen is 6x8” ( I think you said)? You can’t project all the buttonholes all the way down the shirt at once to check spacing.

This is another fantastic video from you!!!! And I agree with you that paying 25K for a Single-needle Home Embroidery/Quilting/Sewing Combo machine is too much. And I don't do Disney Designs at all, and I am an Embroiderer, not a Sewist or a Quilter. I and have done designs that required 29 different colors, and I haven't made them in a single needle machine, I had used TWO 15-Needle embroidery machines that I own, one with the first 15 colors, and then switch the hoop to the second 15-needle machine that had the second half of the design. And I paid just 11K for both machines from NEW OLD STOCK!!! And one of them has a special adapter to add Sequins, Yarn, Beads or Ribbons!!! I also have the PFAFF ICON 2 that I got DEMO for 8100.00 USD as a helper/supplement for designs that only use 1-4 colors, and it also has WiFi and is connected to mySewNet by subscription. I had wished that all these single-needle machines could have some kind of adapter to use the Coloreel thread dying/coloring system coz in that fashion you can enter ANY COLOR into the design, and that system will dye the thread in the proper color and to be applied to the machine, and that system is 33K per machine, but you don't have to continuously buy thread spools of different colors, just one white 5000m 40wt thread spool that will be used to be dyed by the system. Plus, the Coloreel comes with its own software for you to do whatever design you want and with 1000+ colors!!!! So for me the perfect embroidery system would be one of my 15-needle machines using Coloreel, or something like that, but at 261 pounds is too heavy, but will do EVERYTHING- caps, flat embroidery, 100+ color designs, multiple size hoops, either regular or magnetic hoops, tubular embroidery, Puff embroidery, embossed embroidery, Beads, sequins, yarn, ribbons, etc. But that is too expensive and heavy still, and is just my dream as a retiree......

Excellent review and helpful analysis. I feel the least liked part of quilting is the basting. The hoops take part of that away, but you'll have to change so often that you'll still end with wrinkles and gaps. So I will keep my existing set up - Longarm and Sewing Machine with embroidery. I think they missed on the regulator. Thank you, Sheree!!

Thank you for your evaluation! Lots of good information.

Nope, definitely not for me. I think the target market for these flagship machines forget that under all the novelties and gizmos, this is just a machine that puts thread through fabric.

Thanks for the info but I think I'll keep my Luminaire and buy a multi needle for embroidery, The Brother 6 needle goes on sale for less than half the price of the Aveneer. Saves me about $13,000 + tax

Thank you for the information🤩

With the embroidery arm on both machines weight 60 lbs. These machines are nice but I would never use all the stitches. Plus they weigh too much for transport to retreats. As far a embroidery I love the idea of such a big hoop. It would be perfect for quilting, but at this price they could have included magnetic hoops; which are a game changer when it comes to embroidery. I truly enjoy your informational vlogs.

I don’t know if I should feel impressed with this brand new machine. Brother or the factory where this machines came and it used to design groundbreaking industrial technology, but this time feels different. It’s hard to shake the feeling that this is just an average machine, nothing special at all.

great video ,thanks , instagram?

Super cool machine but not for me; it's too heavy and too expensive. We are on a fixed income and have a mortgage. I struggle to carry my 21 lb Brother Innovis NQ1300PRW and am looking for a sturdy sew it all machine under 18 lbs. After 8 years, I've only used about 30% of the available stitches and features on the Brother 1300 and it seemed expensive at $1,500.00 (the updated one is $1,999.00!).

What a wealth of information. I was given my first sewing machine in the early 90’s by my aunt, a singer 401, will all disks, she made wedding gowns. Then in 2000’s left to my husband another singer rocketeer, from his mom. I quilt, and have used the old singers and my Juki, Haruka straight stitch only .

How do I get the stitch length to change? I’ve moved the dial, but stitch stays tiny

Thanks for this video. I’ve used a Bernina machine for many years, but haven’t tried embroidery. This looks like a good one for a beginner! I loved this video. Thank you.

You don’t use grease on those buttons you use machine oil and getting it on plastic doesn’t hurt a thing

Excellent video. Thank you.

The plastic gear you spoke of in the Singer 401a is called Textolite. Textolite is a material developed General Electric. It consists of a fiber wound gear infused with bakelite. The chances of it failing is less than bending the needle bar or destroying the hook assembly. I have never known of or spoken to another repair person who has seen this gear fail.

Q: is there any way to still buy a new machine today AND buypass the weak spots (motherboard)? i.e. will we be able to repair our own motherboards for example? So well made and interesting researched video I couldn't have said it better. I am sad for all the newcomer sewing peeps that are lured into buying expensive new machines with short lives.

🌷🌷Thank You For Sharing, Good Job!🌷

While many manufacturers are now offering a high speed straight stitch machine, a simplified high speed universal straight stitch/ zig zag with a 2.5 amp motor is what many of us who sew professionally would love for travel. I used to costume for shows and traveled a lot on tours. A machine that does the aforementioned would set itself apart from those who do professional garment making .

Thank you for this very well done video! I am considering this machine when my Cricut Maker dies. I have had a Silhouette 4 Pro and currently also own a Brother Scan and Cut that I am about to throw out a window, so I am researching options for the future. I make doll clothes and appreciate the cutting machines for their accuracy.

Necessity is the mother of invention! I like that you are trying to solve a problem. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Thank you for this because it is very helpful

Elna Lotus is a favourite of mine.

Anyone know if this is available in the UK?

Great scissors! I have them in straight and pinking shears. Really saves your hands.❤
