Going from a single needle to six was an awesome leap…but well worth it. It is easy to knock out projects one after the other without having to change threads. Easy to use and just hums along.
I have NEVER had a sewing or embroidery machine that was as hard to thread as this one. Be prepared to spend at least 30 minutes threading. Embroiders well and is fast.

Threading a new machine can be difficult and frustrating.

This is my 3rd Brother embroidery machine. The quality is amazing! I still have a lot to learn. Love the stitch quality. While I like the included frames, there should be a bigger one for a multi needle machine. Purchased Durkee fast frames which are great (a must have) for difficult to hoop items.
This perhaps the worse machine I feel I have ever owned. It gives me more trouble than any other machine I have ever dealt with and I definitely regret buying even though I needed a more robust machine capable of more than a single needle embroidery machine.
I love this machine - highlights are the crosshair laser positioning (who needs a camera with this feature) and the ability to use WiFi for transmitting files and monitoring progress through your phone via app without having to stay near the machine. Making beautiful stitch outs daily and no problems or issues whatsoever. So happy with my purchase and along with my Brother Sewing machine I'm a longtime customer and the quality is excellent!
