I couldn’t be happier or more satisfied with this machine. It operates smoothly and gives me so many options for types of stitches. I love working on projects.

Great little machine
on August 13, 2022
Posted by: Occasional Mender
I have only had it for 3 hours and I like it! It is a replacement for my old CE4000, which finally died (I gave it a mock funeral) after 15 years. So far, I have done test stitching, reinforced a seam on a new shower curtain, and mended a pair of pants. I am not an expert seamstress. I make little craft items, and I use my machine for basic clothing repairs, etc. I think this machine will do the job just fine for the next 15 years.
Two things I have noticed:
a. the bobbin winder is now plastic instead of metal. Yuck.
b. the storage compartment has not gotten better - it's still "open" and your stuff will fall out if it's not in a bag or pouch. Brother used to include a pouch and yeah..no longer. You have to provide your own.
c. the auto needle threader is now mostly plastic - seems fragile and I’m afraid of it.

On the good side, here are the improvements over my old machine (the CE4000)
1. the screwdriver is angled so that it will work, without slipping and scratching the plate. Yay!
2. the bobbin case seems far more well designed on this machine.
3. It does seem like it's far quieter and less loud - also, you can set the speed as you wish. This is awesome.
4. it's lighter than my old machine.
5. thread tension seems to be spot on right out of the box.
6. (i wish they would tell you what size needle is installed - I mean, in the actual machine when you remove it from the box.) I couldn't tell, but I’m guessing it's a universal, maybe a 12?
7. the manual was well-written this time.
8. it purrs. it does.
9. Auto one step button hole – this is a non-negotiable for me. It does it well! And in different styles!
10. I don’t think I will use all the stitches in my lifetime, but it’s nice to have those choices. For someone like me, who does basic sewing/mending/craft items, it does beautiful straight, zig-zag, overcast stitches that are just easy to use.
This is a great machine for someone who doesn’t want to spend their life savings on a sewing machine, will use it occasionally, and will learn with it. Great job, Brother USA!

Very Good Quality

Most of my machines are with Brother. Brother has a very good quality of machines. A friend was sewing on it and said how quiet the machine was. I bought this particular machine to travel to clients homes for fittings. A great choice if I must say so. And light weight is a bonus!

A Good Choice
on May 18, 2022
Posted by: Carolyn
from Tucson, Arizona
I'd sewn extensively as a young mother and then my career and other commitments got in the way. Now, several years into retirement I wanted to get back to making some of my own things. I invested in this sewing machine and have found it a breeze to use. Everything is so well laid out and the instructions are very clear. The machine itself works very smoothly and is easily controlled in terms of speed, stitch selection and length. I am very satisfied with my choice and would recommend this to anyone for a good, well-rounded sewing machine.
