We bought one & was such a good machine for the money ,we recomended & purchased one for a friend. My wife teaches Quilting & now 4 of the ladies own this machine. terrific value for a light machine
Love this machine July 10, 2010 succubus 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Got this for a birthday present, LOVE IT.. It has so many features and easy to use, lightweight, easy thread for the visually impaired same for the bobbin! love it, smooth sewing, no hang ups for me! also do not need the presser foot to use, it sews with on machine buttons, great for sewing with my toddler running around, he can't step on it(foot pedal) and mess me up! I can't wait to do more with this machine, all the deco stitches, and quilting stuff. it comes with a getting started dvd, and a machine dust cover (hard plastic, no locks though)
Love it! August 27, 2010 Lolis wow! this machine got more than i was specting, came sooner also in a very well packaging. Thanks a lot!
Great light weight machine May 7, 2010 D. Gibbens (USA) 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I have a Viking, but purchased this when my Viking was in for repair. I've wanted a backup that was dependable & I didn't want to tote around my heavy, expensive Viking. I needed a lighter, more portable machine that I could tote around for my weekly quilt group.
This machine performs better than expected. It sewed through some fairly thick layers with ease. Top loading bobbin threading is a cinch. Quite a few features that my older computerized Viking does not have (auto needle threader!). The only thing that I currently wish it had was a way for the thread to lay horizontal like my Viking does. But this little machine has more stitches. Most importantly, it has specialty quilting stitches...like the blanket stitch & piecing stitch & also has "needle down" default & quilt extension table.
The adjustable speed is great for teaching kids or for detailed applique. Just a great machine all around. I would recommend it to any of my friends although I have a friend who has the step up from this that has basic alphabet embroidery. That would be nice. Some Brother accessories (bobbins & 2 feet) are available at Walmart.
Keep in mind that this machine is designed for QUILTING, but can be used for regular sewing. I find that the needle down default is annoying when doing sewing projects (button for needle up/down)....but awesome for quilting.
