This little machine is light weight, super easy to use/learn, fun and entertaining. The only problem is finding the thread. But, it is out there. So don't hesitate to purchase this little item if you are looking for fun. Items it can make are so useful in so many ways such as buttons, pins, appliques for clothing, caps, and so much more.

For starters Brother wasn't impressed enough to keep making them, and the replacement consumables. I bought one because it seemed simple, which it is, however, when I went to make something using more than one color, the second or additional colors were not positioned accurately. Some of the Disney designs especially were off, and the color orders were really wrong. I will probably use it for monograms and simple designs, but don't trust it for Disney multicolor accuracy. If you don't attach the iron on piece, the fabric curls up. Too many are out there asking for more $ than it is worth. Personally, I think getting a beginner embroidery only machine would have been money better spent. There is no other gadget on the market now even close to it.

This is a very simple embroidery machine that is no longer in production. Only requires two different items to make it work 1): prefilled thread cartridges. It can be challenging to find replacement thread: prices can vary from $3.00-$10.00 for each depending on which of the 14 colors you are looking for. 2) precut fabric design sheets with adhesive backing. These come in 3 colors: beige, grey, and white: packages of 10-25. Again, research is needed to find them. Prices can range from $4.99- $25.99 per pkg. No warranty or support is expressed from manufacturer. Once understanding of system is made; this system makes approximately 3-3 1/2" very cute applique. This system is self threading, but sometimes manual threading must be done and it is tedious job. Most choices are of a disney nature. I like it for the fact it functions as a starter system to embroidery. I wish Brother would have continued to produce it with more options.Read full review
The little machine sits there and sews great. However, I can't find anyone selling the thread new except on Amazon and Ebay. Most of the time they are around $10.00 per color. I can't find the packs of cloth - backing or anything for sale brand new. I love the machine and its abilities but I would love to find new stuff that is affordable. I can't find pattern cards for it either. I have no problems with the machine at all but the stuff that goes with it is history. My grandson is wanting to be a policeman and I made him a "badge" with his name on it and he had a fit over it. I am going to be making Christmas ornaments also. Love it!

Fun little machine that is easy to use, consistent and great quality embroidery for children. You need to purchase products from Brother such as the thread cartridges and backing material. I found that I could cut my own backing using drapery blackout lining, punch my holes in it and it works great! I purchased this product used so the price was right!
