Love it!
 
Review Date: May 14, 2007
Reviewer: Carly Lynn, 515 Styles, Chicago, IL
The first one I got through Amazon broke half way through my first project. I requested an exchange through Amazon and had my new sewing machine at my door the next day!! Before I even shipped the old one back to them. The machine works great, the button holes on this machine are soooooo easy, such a relief and pleasant change from my Singer with the 4 step button hole. This machine also worked very well with my appliques and all my normal sewing needs. For the price you can't go wrong here.
Great for beginners

Reviewer: Melanie E. Rose,
My mother taught me how to sew the summer before I went to college and over the summer I really enjoyed learning and decoded I wanted to continue. I found the Brother for cheap and decided to go with it. It is a very hardy machine and has moved with me from home in New Mexico to college in Wisconsin for the past two years and I took it with me on a trip to Oregon. Each trip it was bumped and banged and buried under a pile of other things but came out working just as good as ever... a real plus in the life of a college student. I have learned how to do much more in the two and a half years that I've been sewing since I bought the machine and I am happy to report that I have not year found a project I could not do with this machine. It is easy to thread both the needle and the bobbin and rarely breaks a thread or catches. It has been a great machine to learn and grow on
great basic machine

I just got this machine a few weeks ago. I am a beginner. It is very easy to thread and stable when sewing. Even I could follow the directions. I have not tried the automatic buttonholer yet, but I have used a few of the stitches.
Sewing is fun again!

This machine is just great for me. I previously sewed as a child in 4-H for many years and 15 years later have decided to come back to it. So I have some experience but forget a lot and this machine is very forgiving. Much easier to thread and wind the bobbin than in the old days. It is light and has a great variety of stitches for mending and decorating. I have used it on many fabrics without problem. Highly recommended and loads of fun!
Great little machine
 
Review Date: September 11, 2008
Reviewer: Brenna Beck, Baltimore, MD
I'm quite impressed with the reliability and steady function of this machine - for the price, it performs as well as models costing two to three times as much. I've completed a number of projects with it, including difficult piping on a heavyweight slipcover, and everything I've made holds up well to wear and tear. It has a nice even stitch, I've had no problems with bobbin tension.

It's wise to read the manual fully, particularly if you're not extremely comfortable with machines already. All the stitch functions exist and work fine - you just have to know where to find them (reading the manual is HELPFUL). It's a simple machine for a beginner, with the quality, basic functions useful to an experienced seamstress.

I love it! I'm turning out projects that look like pottery barn products, with an $80 machine.
