[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I am an amateur sewer and mostly sew by hand to mend shirts, pants, etc. It has been many years since I used a sewing machine. However I followed the instructions and everything worked perfectly. I think this machine would be perfect for a beginner but good enough for experienced sewers as well. I love all the different stitch options! They are very cool and highly adjustable-- there are dozens of different patterns and you can change the width and tightness of the stitch too. It really adds a professional flair. When I previously mended clothes by hand, the stitch would come loose after repeated wear and wash, but I don't expect that to happen with this machine... The stitches are so much better and faster than I could do myself. All in all I would highly recommend the machine. I have used it for about a month now and have taken care of a bunch of projects that I had been putting off... It makes sewing fun :)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange of my honest opinion. I had never owned a sewing machine before and I am so happy with my new machine. It is nice and compact and has a cute design on it. I am learning how to sow and the tutorial dvd it comes with is very helpful in explaining the different parts/features of the machine. I am still learning, but this machine has been a great first machine to learn on.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I was both excited and intimidated to start sewing at 40 but it’s something I really have been wanting to do and learn for some DIY home decor! Upon pulling out the product there’s instructions and a bag of “parts” and I just let it sit for a week thinking ILL NEVER FIGURE THIS OUT! I’ve yet to read the instructions BUT THANK GOD FOR THERE INSTRUCTIONAL DVD! I followed along STEP BY STEP with the DVD and I could not believe how simple it was (again with the help of the DVD)! The instructions ALONG with the visual of what to do mad with fool proof FOR SURE! I had to purchase so thread and fabric (which is super cheap so if your learning and waste some you won’t feel guilty) and began practicing. After I felt a bit confident with the settings I made some basic curtains for my balcony for privacy. Now they are by no means perfect and I have to practice with straight lines, get some pins and search more on some good ideas, BUT THIS MACHINE is REALLY REALLY good! Between the manual, DVD and images on the machine it’s perfect for a beginner or a pro! There’s really nothing they missed on making this, it threads the needle for you so if you have a shaky hand, no worries! The built in light by the needle makes your work pretty precise and the stitch guide shows you exactly what you need for your preferences. I’m very excited to make curtains, accent blankets for my bed, throw pillows for the living room and so much more! If you’ve waited because your not confident and seeing seems like more work than fun GRAB THIS! I promise you’ll be using old shirts to create things because you want to sew “so” bad!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of this product. This sewing machine is easy to thread, adjust stitch width and length. It sews an accurate 1/4 inch which is seam allowance for quilt block construction. The 1/4 inch presser foot is not included with the basic accessories. It requires an optional purchase. I was able to move the needle over and placed some blue painters tape (which won't leave any residue when removed) to allow for accurate 1/4 inch seams. I am excited to use the various stitches for appliqué and decoration on garments.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free from Brother for an honest review. It is small but powerful. Does not take up much space and easy to store but does the job it’s intended for. Curtains, clothes whatever you need to sew or hem this guy will do the job
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion of the product. This sewing machine is perfect for beginners and those who need a reliable, simple machine. It came packaged very well, and it came with a great dvd of detailed and very easy instructions. They were so helpful, and I was up and running fairly quickly. It comes with extra feet, an extra spindle for twin needles, twin needles, the tools it might require, and some bobbins. The controls are marked on the machine in relief, so it’s easy to find what is needed, and it has lots of utility type stitches, and some fun ones as well. It’s lightweight and fairly compact and easy to store. It’s a good design.

Loved how Easy the Directions were very simple step by step, with Pictures It isn’t a heavy machine and is very portable.
