Runs smoothly. Bobbin is easy to thread and drops into the machine. It's easy to thread through the machine, although the needle threader doesn't thread easily. I also don't like that the needle has to be manually dropped or that there is no speed options. The pedal isn't touchy so the speed doesn't randomly speed up but I like to have a speed option. I needed a machine to replace my Janome that was in for repair so I purchased this one since it wasn't too expensive.

I expected at least a needle possitioning button. Nope. From several other photos, there appeared to be a "cutting thread" button. Nope. This Brother has the exact same "needle threading" disaster as my Brother that finally broke down due to the "needle threading" unit falling apart. I'm not happy with this purchase, but stuck with it. I cannot afford anything else. One bright spot is the newer LED lighting if much brighter than my older Brother that is now brokwn.

I have only had this since Christmas but I am very pleased with it so far. It is very easy to use. The stitch selection is great. The computer tells you what foot to use to make the best stitch. The presser feet are easy to change. The bobbin is easy to fill and load. I like to be able to see the bobbin so you can know if you are getting close to running out. It has clearly marked sewing guide lines. The stitches are very balanced. I have not found anything that I don't like about this machine. I wore my other sewing machine (different brand) completely out and am looking forward to putting some mileage on this one, too!

Over the years it has been a a test for multiple machines. Raising a large family, then teaching them to sew over the years. In 4 H all did have their products graded by experts.If a 9 year old can have simple instruction and sew alone it proves to me this is a good product and not difficult to use.This machine is my second Brother. Highly recommend them! Sue

I like this machine. I needed a new one, finally found one here on eBay. It was to get use to, the sewing needle starts to the left side, that was something I haven’t see before. Plus using the needle threader is hard to do at times. But overall, I’m getting used to it. Great buy!
