Reviews on Brother-17 stitch free-arm sewing machine LX2500?
I am considering buying this sewing machine. $74.95 from Wal-Mart. Mostly i would use it to hem or patch blue jeans or minor alterations to clothing. Anyone familiar with this model. Will it work for what I have in mind?

Most of what you seem to want to do could be done well with an old straight stitch sewing machine like a Singer 15-91 or 201, and they're fairly easy to find.
