Review: User-friendly, small footprint, works well - would be GREAT for a beginner - This is a small footprint sewing machine that's pretty easy to learn and use, even for beginners. It has much more to offer than basic sewing machines at a lower price than similar machines, but is much more user-friendly than a more elaborate machine, even some of the other Brother machines. It has plenty of stitches to choose from and a bigger top plate that gives you more working space, especially when making a flat object, but you can remove it to use the free-arm, such as for hemming pants or sewing cuffs or curved pieces. I don't find the threader to be efficient, but that may be my old eyes talking. Overall, it's a sweet little machine. Review: Good quality machine. You may have to oil it yourself - I loved this machine when I got it, it ran very well. I sew a lot, at least two outfits a week , sometimes more. I also recommended it to a friend, and she bought it as well. I bought it in March 2025, and early January 2026 it was so tight that you couldn’t hardly spin the wheel and stitching was slow. I brought it to a repair shop after talking with customer service for brother, the customer service said if it was a warranty problem it would be covered for free within one year. (The reason why I didn’t oil it myself was that the manual said that if you attempted repairs yourself, then it wouldn’t be under warranty) When I spoke to my trusted repair shop (my grandma has gone there for years) It wouldn’t be under warranty to get it oiled. Oiling/maintenance would be $120, and my machine was already two years old as it had sat in a warehouse for a year before I bought it. He said that a machine needs oiling every year, and that it would be normal to have the oil dry up within the two years since manufacture. (he also said in 2020 he had sold a whole pallet of 120+ of these machine machines!) I have had very minor occasional problems with thread, tangling, etc. Mainly because I keep forgetting that this machine is not like others I’ve used and you have to insert the Bobbin wound the opposite way. (Both shown in manual and on a little symbol next to the bobbin casing. I had already figured out how to open the casing (not easy) to clean out dust as the plate cover was not enough to access all of the dust, there was a YouTube video on how to open this specific machine. I did bend the plastic a little bit because I was trying to use a screwdriver, before realizing that the little coin button that is usable for the plate screws is good for popping in the seam to get the little plastic joints apart. There are seven screws that need to be removed to take it apart, and from there (if you’re unsure) you could check a YouTube video on how to oil machines- essentially any metal part that moves against another metal part needs to be oiled. I first did it while manually moving the wheel, then oiled a second time with the machine running (removed needle) My machine works again and saved me 120! I got the zoom spout oiler by nifty notions- it has an extendable straw that helped to get in all the places. I still do really like this machine, I haven’t missed any features, besides wishing there was a sliding tray like my last machine had for storage. There are a lot of accessories that come with it as well, and a few bobbins. ## Features - 37 unique built-in stitches, including one 1-step auto-size buttonhole - With a full range of user-friendly features and lightweight design, the Brother SM3701 is perfect for both beginners learning to sew and more advanced sewers looking for versatility - 74 stitch functions, including a blind hem decorative and quilting stitches with an automatic one-step buttonhole for virtually perfect buttonholes - 5 quick-change sewing feet are included in the box - Free arm for sewing cuffs and sleeves ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0100JZH76 | | Best Sellers Rank | #56,038 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #153 in Sewing Machines | | Brand | Brother | | Brand Name | Brother | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 696 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00012502638568 | | Included Components | Darning plate, needle set, twin needle, bobbins (4), extra spool pin, screwdriver, power cord, operation manual, instructional DVD | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 5.8"D x 12"W x 15.3"H | | Item Type Name | Sewing Machine | | Item Weight | 12.9 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Brother International | | Material | Metal, Plastic | | Model Number | SM3701 | | Part Number | SM3701 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 5.8"D x 12"W x 15.3"H | | UPC | 012502638568 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brother - **Color:** Multicolor - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00012502638568 - **Is Electric:** Yes - **Item Weight:** 12.9 Pounds - **Material:** Metal, Plastic - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Product Dimensions:** 5.8"D x 12"W x 15.3"H - **UPC:** 012502638568 ## Images ![SM3701 37-Stitch Free Arm Sewing Machine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61w6ng3VoJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this machine have speed constrol?** A: The foot pedal controls the speed of the needle. **Q: Will this machine work in India?** A: I guess so.

It’s not exactly compact, but it’s a good size for a solid workspace without being too bulky. The stitch quality is great, and it handles thicker fabrics without issues. Threading it is simple, which makes it beginner-friendly, but it still has the power and precision for more advanced projects. Also a nice option if you’re thinking of gifting a sewing machine to someone starting out. Great value and well-built. ## Frequently Bought Together - Brother SM3701 Sewing Machine, 12" x 5.8" x 15.3", White - Sewing Machine Needles, 50 PCS Universal Sewing Machine Needle, Compatible with Singer, Brother, Janome, Varmax, Sizes HAX1 65/9, 75/11, 90/14, 100/16, 110/18 (50 PCS) - Eoehro 72pcs Sewing Thread kit, 36 Colors Sewing Machine Threads, Prewound Bobbins Sewing Threads Kit, Sewing Machine Thread Assortment, 400 Yards per Spools Polyester Thread --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/21158135-sm3701-37-stitch-free-arm-sewing-machine](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/21158135-sm3701-37-stitch-free-arm-sewing-machine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-06-15*
