I finally bought myself a brand new sewing machine. I have always had hand-me-down machines my whole adult life. I broke down and bought this one. I have been using it for a few weeks now and have enjoyed the process of learning it.Threading: very easy. Has a needle threader which I never had before. I have used it every time threading the machine and it always works like a charm. Winding the bobbin was a bit more tricky, but I discovered the trick to it and now do not have any trouble.Sewing Normally: As a sewing machine, this is very steady and even. It has a foot pedal, but you can also push the button and have it sew without the pedal as well. It has a speed lever as well (which I have never had before) so you can slow it way down if you are working with tricky fabric, or speed it right up when working through easy projects. The speed works with your pedal as well, so if you are not comfortable sewing above a certain speed, you can set the lever there. It's been a really nice feature that I didn't know I needed. LOTS of different options for stitches that come installed. Easy to find what you need and change the length of the stitches. Because I had always worked with a very old machine, this took a bit of adjustment, but now I have so many options. It's great.Embroidery: I have never had an embroidery machine, so this was brand new. Super easy to switch from one to the other. Throw the attachment on, change the presser foot and you are ready to go. I have been playing around with it and it has been really fun to put writing or monograms on things. It comes with several pre-loaded images or you can head to IBroidery.com to download more. I had to email customer service to help me with downloading my free packs of embroidery patterns, but they helped out and now I have both packs that came free with my machine. (Probably should be pre-loaded, but I can't complain too much!)Style: This machine is actually way lighter than any machine I have ever owned. I am guessing because more of the workings are made of plastic, but as we all know, sewing machines can be beasts! So, if I ever needed to take it anywhere, I wouldn't need to visit a chiropractor afterwards! It does shift around just a bit while I am working with it sometimes, but it hasn't been an issue. If I needed to, I could buy a silicone mat for it and that would take care of the slippage. Now, I happen to be a big geek, so the added fun of the faceplates are a bonus. But, you do not have to put them on! The machine looks just fine without the plates. I got the Star Wars machine and immediately put Leia on there. She looks great and I probably won't need to change it any time soon.Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase. So glad I decided to do this for myself.

Great starter machine for embroidery. It's pretty self explanatory. Gives step by step instructions on the screen and the manual is easy to understand. The sewing is very good and so far the only down side with the embroidery is getting the stabilizer and fabric into the hoop straight. I do regret that I didn't bite the bullet and get a machine with a larger hoop. This machine is great and I have found a lot of patterns for the 4x4 hoop. Really glad I bought it!

I am new to sewing. I was teaching myself on an older model Brother and decided I wanted a more updated one. It’s a great sewing machine. It’s easy to use, has a lot of neat features and sews so smoothly. I haven’t tried the embroidery part yet as I want to get more experienced in sewing before I try that. The only reason for the four stars is because it arrived without a power cord. I was so disappointed. I had to call the Brother manufacturer to get one sent to me which took over a month to receive. In the meantime I found a power cord on Amazon that fit just so I could use it while I waited for the one from Brother. An extra expense I shouldn’t have had, but at least I was able to enjoy my machine a few days after it arrived.

There was no booklet at all.Also tried to log in to get support with my machine, and I entered the serial number, there is no support, that machine is not in the system with the company.Can’t even get the Star Wars images.
