    We purchased this sewing machine! It skips stitches very easily. We checked and cleaned everything, that doesn’t help. Have to take it to a shop to have it looked at. Per Brother

    I am just getting back into sewing after many years. This machine was easy to set up and seems to work well so far. I signed up for a refresher course and I am looking forward to getting a lot of use out of it.

    Machine worked great for a couple hours, now the stitches are all messed up. I tried every adjustment and the seams are all falling apart. Super crappy.

    Broken bobbin winder

    3 out of 5 stars
    Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
    Andrea - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
    This was my first time touching a sewing machine, so naturally I spent quite some time watching YouTube tutorials. Unfortunately the bobbin winder is broken/missing from my machine, which took me awhile to figure out as a newbie. The box is filled with packaging that says "Do not return! Contact Brother for help!" so I emailed and called support. In order to get the part replaced, I'll have to commute an hour to the nearest authorized service center (and another hour back!). They won't mail a replacement part. Ultimately, I was able to figure out how to set up this machine in one evening, and decided to hand-wind my first bobbin. I'm excited to start using the machine regularly — after I find time to make the 2+ hour commute to the service center, that is :(

    My first sewing machine and I watched some demo videos. Only thing I don't like is the bottom threader to the needle, if you don't hold the threads when you start they get all jammed up.

    Great for beginners! As a “Never touched Sewing machine in my life” beginner. I picked this one up and have loved every bit of it. The included DVD was great to truly learn all the features. I have been trying different patterns and stitches and this has made it a breeze! I love the simplicity of this machine.

    This sewing machine is very easy to use, has lots of bells and whistles (that i still need to learn). It's a great starter machine for anyone interestes in sewing. The auto needle threader isnt the easiest and takes time to figure out. Took me many tries to get it right. But overall, great buy.

    This is my first sewing machine. The instruction manual is really helpful and I'm slowly getting better! I would recomend it for beginners, especially because of the needle-threader and quick-set bobbin.

    I learned how to sew years ago, and about a month ago, I finally picked it back up again with the purchase of this machine. I’ve been working with cottons, flannels, and minky. I’ve used several stitches and been very happy with how they turned out. I’ve done one project with a zipper and just bought a container of buttons, so we will see how that goes!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this Brother sewing machine for my daughter who has been wanting to learn to sew for a long time. It looked easy enough to use for someone who has never sewn, but like she could grown into it and learn more. The instructions were very easy to follow. They had pictures and exactly what you needed to do. Once she got the thread attached, she has been practicing all the time. She sometimes like to practice with the different stitches that it has as an opinion. She is so excited to continue learning and using the sewing machine. The design is nice and she loves that it’s not just plain but has the floral design as well.
