Great machine.
I received this product for free from a brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I am a novice sewer and was very excited to get this machine and see the functionality of having a machine that is newer and designed to be more functional than what I have used in the past. The set up of the machine is fairly simple and shouldn’t be any trouble for ...

upset
wanted a machine with a case making it more
convenient to take with me on the go. what I got was a "case" that does not cover the machine because it does not go all the way down to "cover"
the whole machine. it hangs wobbly over the top and leaves 4-5" open. I was told it's just the way the cover is made. the machine itself is fine but this cover thing has me totally up...

One improvement
I purchased this machine for quilting and garment sewing. It does a great job and offers many stitch options. I did need to purchase some additional feet. The only issue is using the “automatic”needle threader. I’ve been practicing using this feature but I think I was successful only 10% of the time. After multiple attempts I finally manually thread the needle. An oppor...

Machine of my dreams!!!
I love this machine. It does a beautiful job and easy to use. I’ve got a Singer that I had nothing but trouble with. This Brother is a breeze. Love it.

Makes sewing fun
Comes with instruction manual. Easy to follow. Love the way the machine feels. This is the best machine I have owned. The fact it has the alphabet included is a plus. Would recommend this machine for a beginner or advanced person who sews

Awesome machine!
I absolutely love my new machine. I had a smaller brother before this one for many years it has they have all been reliable easy to use machines. I would have liked to have had a few more amenities like a thread cutter, automatic needle threader, but they were out of my Price range. I’m just learning to sew and quilt thank you brother and sewing essentials for helping m...

Wish I could say better
I fairly satisfied with it for my first project. By the second project the dog feed stopped going up and down and was stuck in down so now I need to take it miles away for repair after 5 days or so of use… maybe a defective isolated case? I don’t know. Is my first machine, so it was pretty disappointing

Lots of useful features without going overboard.
I had an older Brother sewing machine that worked fine and met the needs I had for fixing a hole in a shirt, hemming some pants, or throwing together a pillow case for the odd sized pillow but recently I decided to add back sewing as a active hobby and became very aware of how many very useful functions were offered by the newer machines. Here are some of the changes/ad...

The machine is suitable for routine everyday sewing but not the best for quilting due to the limited throat space. Also, the presser foot has limited action for thicker materials. Other than that, it is easy to use and is lightweight for handling, but you need to set it on a non skid pad as it tends to slide around while sewing.

Disappointed
Loved this machine, until 1 month after owning it stopped working properly. I have followed troubleshoot guide, watched videos on trouble shooting and performed every action recommended, but this machine skips stitches on the right. I cannot use any of the bonus stitch effects. I can only sew using the straight stitch function. Has limited my ability to use as intended....

Great machine not so great case.
I really love this machine. Does everything it says it will. The only thing I don't care for is that it says it comes with hard case and it does not. It has a lid but it does not latch on at all, doesn't even really sit on it either i can't call this a case sorry.

Case is not good
My grandma bought me this machine for Christmas and I love it. I’m 8. She bought this particular machine because it supposedly came with a hard case for bringing it to her house, and my foot can’t reach the foot pedal so I needed the speed slider and buttons on the front of the machine to operate it. I learned all the parts including how to thread it and install the bob...

Good and Bad
Everything works fine, but two things really bother me. I hate how the spool of thread goes on the machine. It's so awkward pulling the thread under and to the left to thread it. And I hate the presser foot lever. It's plastic, and uncomfortably rough, and only accessible with the right hand. I much prefer my older machine's (a Kenmore) metal, smooth lever accessible by...

I am just trying to get adjusted to it as it is different than the one which broke which was a Bernini.

Very Pleased
This machine was exactly what I wanted. I’m by no means an advanced seamstress but I enjoy sewing and wanted a machine that could do decorative stitching. The machine is very easy to use and I’ve been very happy with its capabilities thus far.

Poor Overall Design
I was disappointed with the overall design. I don't find this a user friendly machine. Almost everything is plastic, so that I'm concerned about breaking something. The spool of thread is exterior and unprotected. The accessories are in a pouch inside the slide type flat bed and there are more accessories in a plastic bag aside from the machine. The case to cover the ma...
