This is my first new machine since 2001. I had a Brother PC-2800 ,that still runs, but I wanted to do more quilting and wanted a machine with a larger throat area. I LOVE my new machine. There is so much to learn and I am discovering more each time I use it. I couldn't be happier with it.
Works beautifully for the most part. Automatic threader is temperamental and error messages are not helpful. It keeps saying I need to rethread but that’s not the problem. Other than that, no problem adjusting from my old Bernina. Much easier to use with more bells and whistles.
Easy to learn and makes sewing & quilting enjoyable. As professional seamstress I use this machine daily and this machine makes hemming thick Jean hems a breeze without using a “special “ foot to ho over the side seams.
As a quilter, I enjoy the ease in dropping the feed dogs, automatic needle threader, thread cutter, adjustable foot height along with the capability of many different stitches along with the directional stitches.
I own 9 Brother machines and haven’t had many issues with them. Highly recommend this machine.
