Customer Reviews
I purchased this machine some time ago. This was the first machine I purchased that was able to embroider. I found it very easy to use even though it had lots of features and different stitches built right in - even with Pooh/Disney designs! You can also use purchased Brother embroidery design cards - so what you can embroider is almost endless. I also purchased an extra-large sized hoop for doing larger designs. I've been real happy with the embroidery unit and other decorative stitches it does, but sometimes the feed dog seems to "slip" with thicker fabric like denim. I'm not sure, but this may be just a problem with my machine, and I intend to bring it in to be serviced since it is due anyway. But other than that one problem... I think the machine is certainly a great bargain for the price. It is also easy to bring anywhere.... super light weight with a cover that slips over and protects while in storage or transport! I do alterations as a business and have used it to do just about most of the jobs - even bridal gowns. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by this little Brother machine w/Disney embroidery designs. I just purchased the Brother PE Basic so that I can download designs from the internet (either free or purchased ones) and transfer the design and put it on a Brother memory card. Then, you just slip the memory card into the slot on the machine and stitch away. I plan on making my own appliques for bridal accessories and/or dresses that customers want added to or changed in some way. This will give me the ability to customize anything I sew or design for myself, family or customer. This machine gives you lots of freedom to do what you want it to do!
