Questions & Answers
Is this machine capable of sewing denim/jeans or upholstery fabric? If so, does it come with the heavy duty needle required? Or would I need to look at a heavy duty model? What is the least expensive model with that capability? Thx
Answered by BrotherThe Brother XR-9550PRW can sew up to 6mm in thickness, when using a larger size needle. The machine comes with a needle set that contains sizes 11, 14 and 16.
Does the stupid thing come with a foot pedal? Not sure why this info is so hard to find. And if it doesn't, how do you control the movement of the material?
Answered by BrotherThe Brother XR9550 comes with a foot controller.
The alphanumeric stitches- can they be adjusted to different sizes?
Answered by BrotherThe alphanumeric stitches in the Brother XR9550 are only available in one size.
Does the machine have an automatic needle threader? I see this model on a competing site that has automatic needle threading capability.
Answered by BrotherYes, the Brother XR9550 does have an auto needle threader.
Does this machine have a hard case?
Answered by AnonymousIt comes with a "HARD COVER" which sits on top of the machine. There is no mechanism to attach it to the machine. It cannot be used to make a carrying case. A remedy is to buy the Singer soft, padded carrying case. It holds the machine, the extended table, foot pedal, power cord and sewing notions. The case is great. The 2, 2-way zippers open the case on 3 sides for easy loading of the machine.
