I despise this machine
It continuously gets bogged down with lint from the thread and fabric. When this happens it fails to sew correctly and I have to use compressed air to blow it all out of there.
Also, I'll be sewing along doing just fine on a zigzag stitch and from out of nowhere, in the middle of a line of stitching it decides to do a straight stitch. If I could go buy a different m...

"Happy Seamstress"
Purchased this machine for our Granddaughter. She is taking a class at school and loves to sew. This machine is everything she needs and more.

All the bells and whistles, very easy to use!
Love this brother!! Just found the handy dandy thread cutter on the side, easy to thread, quiet and fast. Great value for the price.

Great for Beginners ❤️
I will say, this is the best sewing machine ever and I’m excited to continue learning with it. It’s great for beginners and those who are new to using a sewing machine. To make it easier, there are YouTube videos showing you how it works and the basic instructions and techniques to get started. I def will recommend this machine and many others that I will try over time ...

Good basic machine
I am a casual sewer I do not make my own clothing. I just do basic mending and hemming. However I will say this sewing machine is very very easy to use. The dials are clear and concise. My only issue is when you take the pressure off your foot, the needle does not plunge back into the fabric. That's a very nice to have as it was on my last sewing machine

my daughter loves this sewing machine!
My daughter is 8 years old and was interested in learning to sew clothes for her dolls. We bought this Brother sewing machine and it is such an excellent machine. Perfect for beginners! Easy-to-follow guides online and instructions. My daughter is a natural with it and calls her machine "Bro" for short. We've already made a couple of projects with the sewing group at ou...

necessary improvements
Have the bobbin cover attached rather than a separate piece and have the stitches easier to switch/change. Still have not figured out how to switch to the design/embroidery stitches on this machine.

Terrible machine!
This is the worst sewing machine I have ever tried to sew on. Every step of threading the top thread and the bobbin is unnecessarily complex and gimmicky. The light is extremely bright making for more glare off the metal parts than useful light. I dread setting this machine up and avoid sewing projects that I used to love. Once I get it threaded correctly and functionin...

Very disappointed and unhappy
It is a very bad sewing machine. Overly complicated. Never works in one go. The thread either keeps coming out of the needle or the bobbin. I’ve changed threads, needles piled the machine even though it is fairly new and I use it only for altering stuff. I bought it for the 5-6 times I need to use in a year. It has been a nightmare and I dread thinking of this sewing ma...

Great everyday workhorse
Love this sewing machine! I haven't had a sewing machine for about 15 years, so it's nice to get back into it with this super easy-to-use sewing machine. This is great for the basics - sewing hems, minor repairs, etc.

Great machine, impressive manual
This machine is excellent for making stuffed animals, repairing clothing, and learning. I am really impressed by the detail in the manual. It really teaches you how to sew and doesn't skip over information. As someone who never sewed before I was intimidated but the manual helped so much. It's been fun to learn! The machine and manual pair together perfectly for a begin...

Great for beginners
Never sewed anything in my life, and within 15 days of learning, while taking care of a 10 month old… I’ve made may entire Jasmine Halloween costume from scratch.
