 easy for beginner September 26, 2008

Actually it is the first time I use a sewing machine. Before I knew nothing about sewing. And Brother is one of the brands that people usually recommend. The structure is simple to understand and the manual is easy to follow. I just spend half an hour to start and made a pretty futon cover. If you are new to sewing, this is really a good choice to begin.
no complaints so far from a beginning sewer! July 19, 2008

I bought this in February and have made some not-too-complex projects with it just fine. It is my first sewing machine. It does all the basic stuff all right, and I found it easy to use. I'm sure that a more experienced seamstress might prefer a machine with more stitch variety and electronic controls with greater precision, but this one worked for me.
One minor quibble: I don't really like the buttonhole making functionality on this machine. I wish I had an automatic buttonhole function, but this one is okay. (It's the stitch four sides of the buttonhole then tear method here.) Make sure you practice!

I recently bought this item. I am totally a novice at sewing and have loved that this machine is very simple to use. There are guides on the machine for threading it, which makes it very easy to do. For my purposes, it is great. The pedal speed on the machine is great... I tend to go a little slowly with my stitches, but when pressed all the way down the speed is pretty quick. My only complaint with this product is that there is a plastic film over the knobs and covering the front of the maching (where it shows stitch types) that has become mysteriously bubbled and wrinkled. I can tell that it isn't meant to be a temporary covering. I am a bit dissapointed that this happened after only a few uses. However, this is a cosmetic problem and doesn't affect the machine's performance.
Does what it's intended to do June 23, 2008

I'm not using this machine but my mother is. She's a long-time machine sewing veteran so I can rely on her opinion. And her opinion is that... this machine does what it is meant to do, i.e. sew basic stuff. People who are complaining about the machine pulling the stitches or some such apparently did not have a whole lot of experience with it because my mother managed to adjust it such that it sews properly. Yeah, it won't work right out of the box but you need to bear that in mind and just spend a few minutes adjusting the thread tension and other things that I'm not familiar with.
Great machine so far! June 2, 2008

Its only been a week since I got the machineand we've had no problems with it so far. I bought it for my mom and she seems pretty happy. The only one thing I can think of saying is getting the string and bobbin setup through the machine was a little difficult because there weren't any written instructions; there were only pictures going from step to step.
