Brother Sewing Machine (MCollins, Rochester, VT, 2008-03-30)
 
It took longer to arrive than I had hoped but it was worth the wait. For years of struggling with hand-me-down and antique machines, I finally broke down and bought my own. I still haven't been able to use the auto threader and installing the bobbin took a bit of reading and re-reading, but once that was behind me, the machine works great! I have been able to sew through multiple layers, and if you take the time to read the manual, you can adjust the tension properly. One thing I don't like about the machine is the placement of the lever that lifts the foot. It makes it difficult to initially feed fabric through without hurting yourself. But once you figure out how to work around this, which I have, it's a great machine. Easy to use, quiet, and a seemingly good value.

Disappointed (murph2, Vermont, 2008-02-24)
 
I had read in the reviews that the needle threader was difficult to figure out, but I thought I would eventually get it. However, it was either defective from the start, or by "playing" with it, I made it defective. I immediately e-mailed the address that was written in very large print on some of the material that came with the machine. I never heard back from them. To return the machine for repair was going to cost me $20. so I opted to take it to a local repair shop. I don't think I was very smart to buy something like this on line where you don't have real people to explain the nuances of the machine to you. I will never do it again.

Good Value (Kayn, Southern Nevada, 2008-02-27)
 
The Brother's machine was a good purchase. It sews well and is versatile enough for a beginner to intermediate seamstress. I was somewhat concerned when I read the reviews about the problems with the tension control; however, the machine I received is fine. I do feel that it has a lot of plastic parts and I am not sure how well it would hold up to heavy use. It sounds clicky when you select different stitches, but again, it sews just fine. I bought this for my daughter who sews very little, but needed a machine for mending and Halloween costumes, etc. So far we are very pleased.

Great Machine (Dafdog, Kansas City, Missouri, 2008-04-30)
 
Great machine - but I'm having touble with the bobbin tension - the underside stitched don't catch - but since this is my first sewing machine I'll keep on experimenting - I tried all 35 stiches and it is awesome - wished I had upgraded and bought a machine that does monograming - its so easy to set and sew!! Sewed some jean hems and was impressed how the machine just kept on moving over the seams - I recommend this machine - good sewing!!

Excellent Machine! (Fussball, Frederick, MD, 2008-05-13)
 
I have really enjoyed this machine in the couple months I've had it. It's easy to use, and I haven't had a problem with it yet, even though it was refurbished. I had some trouble with the tension, but I changed to a different brand of thread, and it worked out the issues. (Who knew that thread could have that big of an impact?) It's been a good machine, and I'm glad I bought it.
