Brother® ST371HD Strong & Tough 37-Stitch Heavy-Duty Home Sewing Machine
37 BUILT-IN STITCHES • ONE-STEP BUTTONHOLE • 6 INCLUDED FEET
Make everyday sewing and repairs more versatile with the Brother ST371HD Strong & Tough. This mechanical home sewing machine combines practical utility and decorative stitches with features designed for garment alterations, fabric projects, and routine mending.
Its metal needle plate, included heavyweight needles, and stable construction help users work with compatible heavier fabrics, while adjustable stitch settings make it useful for lighter textiles as well.
The machine also includes a free arm, drop-feed capability, and a top-loading Quick-Set bobbin system to support different sewing techniques.

- One-Step Auto-Size Buttonhole: Create buttonholes using the included buttonhole foot.
- Six Included Sewing Feet: Spring-action zigzag, nonstick, blind hem, zipper, button sewing, and buttonhole feet.

- Quick-Set Top-Loading Bobbin: Drop-in bobbin arrangement for convenient access and preparation.
- Drop Feed: Lower the feed dogs for compatible free-motion sewing techniques.
- Free Arm: Supports sewing cuffs, sleeves, and other narrow garment sections.
- Metal Needle Plate: Provides a durable sewing surface for compatible fabrics.
- LED Work Light: Illuminates the sewing area.

JMJ Sewing Machines Recommends
The Brother ST371HD is a practical option for customers who want one home sewing machine for repairs, alterations, decorative stitches, and occasional heavier-fabric projects within its rated capability.
Our recommendation: Match the needle, thread, stitch settings, and presser foot to the fabric. For sustained production on thick materials, ask JMJ about an appropriate industrial machine.
