Brother Sewing and Quilting Machine, Computerized, 165 Built-in Stitches, LCD Display, Wide Table, 8 Included Presser Feet, White, 20x12x17

Love this machine. It’s everything that was promised in the description. Easy to set up, works great! So happy I finally replaced my old machine

I recently decided to revisit my old hobby of sewing. I had a perfectly okay Brother sewing machine but the more I was using it, the more I became conscious of the many functions that newer sewing machines have that mine definitely didn’t. Some of the features that I won’t be willing to do without that this machine has include snap-on/snap-off presser feet, making a switch from one stitch type to another a matter of seconds rather than minutes; a drop-in bobbin that removes the need to fiddle with the upper thread/needle to pull up the bobbin thread before starting to sew as well as virtually ending the common problem of the bobbin thread snagging inside the machine; a library of stitches that come pre-programmed with optimal stitch length and width… selecting a stitch always starts with the preferred default values every time you select it; a better design for the the upper thread loading. They have somehow designed the unit so that the thread will automatically find itself on the correct side of the path being threaded instead of, as my older machine needed, requiring me to fiddle with flywheel on the right of the machine to get the different parts in the correct orientation to pass the thread around the parts correctly.; a built-in overstitch stitch for fray-prone fabrics; and lastly, the option to either use the foot peddle to control the speed of the stitches or choose to use the programmable stitch speed control for those of us who find their excitement, anxiety, or simple lack of patience leading to what feels like a high-speed chase where your current stitches are the barely in control car careening around the mountainous ess-curves, inches away from flying off into the valley below. This machine is well made, well designed, and wonderfully lightweight. I think it is a great starter machine for those wanting to learn the skills and tricks of sewing.

After my previous sewing machine broke down😟 I was worried I wouldn’t like any other models. I absolutely love this machine and actually happy the other one broke down! It sews quietly (for a sewing machine) and it sew so smoothly and even with layers I haven’t had an issue. It’s is lightweight enough that moving it isn’t an issue at all! I’m still playing with all the different stitches available.

I’m not proficient at sewing. But I like doing it. My old Singer is over 30 years old and did a fine job. Then, alas, it was time to replace it. I ordered this Brother Sewing machine assuming that it would do what my old one did. I was wrong! This machine is amazing! It was easy to learn how to use it, and to set it up. From the needle always ending in the down position, making sewing so much easier. To the needle threader, (this gave me my biggest challenge), to using the included stitches. I’m so happy with my purchase. And like I said, sewing didn’t come easy for me. But this Brother sewing machine sure helped allot. The pics are of a quilt I just made for my nephew for Christmas. I highly recommend this item for purchase.

Loving this machine so far. Great price. My one issue is that it was listed as a great machine for quilting but did not come with a 1/4 seam guide presser foot. ALL quilts require an even 1/4 seam so you have 2 choices. Put a piece of tape to guide your seam or buy a 1/4 foot from Amazon, which I did. Works perfectly. I think the seam could be a fraction narrower, but if all seams are sewn consistently, finished product should be fine. There is a very basic tutorial for this machine on YouTube which I found very helpful.

Super Satisfied buyer and user of this Brother sewing machine. The ease of use is incredible. Would buy again

What is great sewing machine. It has many features and is well worth its low price tag. I highly recommend!

Super easy to use. It does come with a top but the top does not latch which didnt matter to me since I don’t travel with mine. Bobbin loading is easy as well as the needle threading feature (once you get used to it. The only feature I do not like is the back stitch. I’m used to pressing the peddle and it moving quickly, on this machine you press a button and it slowly back stitches. It’s okay now that I’m used to it but I still prefer the other way.
