Outstanding Sewing Machine

I bought this Brother sewing machine after my daughter recently purchased one and raved about it. We bought different models. I am more pleased with my new machine than I expected and that is always high marks from me. The machine is easy to use, reliable and quiet. The instruction booklet provides clear, detailed information. I am delighted with this Brother sewing machine.

Reignited my enthusiasm for sewing!

I couldn’t be happier with my new machine. I can’t wait to finish a project so I can start another.
I find it to be a solidly constructed, yet easy to transport.This machine works well with all fabrics and thicknesses. Comes with a multitude of presser foots and other useful items. It also offers the option for foot petal or button control. It has a nice selection of stitch options, for both construction and decoration, with easy selection and set- up.

My first computerized machine and I love it!

I'm very happy with this machine. It's my first computerized sewing machine, so it takes a little getting used to. I love how slow and steady the stitches can go when you're in a tricky spot. I love all the different choices of stitches that it has. The automatic threading contraption is really nice at my age.
The one thing that I kind of feel "meh" about is the automatic buttonhole. Don't get me wrong, it's great if you are actually sewing on a button along with the buttonhole. But sometimes you need to do a buttonhole (like for a drawstring) and you don't have a button for it, so it makes it difficult to figure out the correct size for the buttonhole. And, there is no way to switch and just do a manual 4-step button hole (for example). That would be a nice addition - the option to do a manual 4-step button hole. Yes, you could do it manually like really from scratch, but no one wants to have to do that, lol.
I have not had any issues working with denim or other thick fabrics. Denim is actually my favorite to work with which is why I wanted a "heavy duty" machine, for all those layers. I would never force any sewing machine to power through a bunch of thick layers on it's own motor power, though - I usually hand-crank the needle through those areas myself.
I don't love the "overcast" stitches on this machine and so I've been using my serger to neaten fabric edges. I have found that for more flimsy fabrics, the overcast stitches pull the edge of the fabric in really tight which then makes your pattern piece smaller, and I don't want to have to think too hard about what my new seam allowances should be, lol. Not a huge deal or even a deal breaker - most (all?) machines are like this.
But like I said, I really am fond of this machine and am happy I purchased it. I hope it lasts for years and years. I've had it for a few months now and have done at least a half dozen projects with it ranging from tote bags to evening wear. So far so good!

Runs very quiet, I’m not having to dig my material out of the plate below the needle. I love all the stitches and attachments that come with it.
