 - arrived brokenI bought this sewing machine because my previous machine stopped working, and I had a big project I needed to finish quickly. The Brother machine arrived broken. The stitch selector would only do a straight stitch. The dial wouldn't even turn to any of the other options. When I finally did get it to select the zig-zag stitch, the needle just moved up and down in place, not forwards and certainly not side-to-side. Also, the needle arm was out of alignment, so the needle kept hitting the metal plate on the base of the machine. I snapped two needles in the course of trying to sew a simple garment. It is not even worth my time to exchange this piece of junk. I gave it two stars, because it could do a straight stitch, and as long as you were only sewing together two pieces of thinner fabric, it worked okay. If you wanted to sew layers of three or more pieces of fabric, or something thicker like denim, forget it. Rating:  - brothers sewing machineive hemmed three pair of pants first time i sewed in my life just about was easy to thread and to use and cant beat teh price no tax free shipping you be nuts not to buy and if you sew alot you can be come amster at this machine rather fast easy to use cost effecient already paid for itself go see how much it ios to hem a pairof pants these days save gas alone lol well today every drop counts peace Rating:  - ExcellentThis sewing machine is perfect for my needs as a beginner. It is easy to set up and use, and performs well. I highly recommend it. Rating:  - I Returned ItI am new to sewing and wasn't looking for anything other than a bare bones machine when I bought this. If I could sew a straight line with it, I'd be happy. Even with these simple goals, this machine did not meet my expectations. 1) I could not get the machine to start slowly. It went at full speed or no speed. 2)No matter how I adjusted the tension knob, the fabric puckered (according to the trouble-shooting guide, I was doing everything right--right fabric with the right thread, etc). I have used two other machines in the past and I never had any trouble sewing a decent line. I returned this machine. Rating: - Loved this machine, easy to use for first timer.This was my first time using a sewing machine and I was able to prepare the machine and use it by following the directions that came with it. It is very easy to use and control I loved it and the price is great. Definetly would recommend.
