I love the sewing machine. I purchase quite a
bit for myself and my kids on Amazon.com and then I heard about
warehousedeals.com. I was skeptical about purchasing from this site.
It was in perfect condition. It was light weight. I never would have
been able to afford this quality of a machine at this price anywhere.
My theme song is "Amazon is my friend." I can buy in four clicks. My
husband is constantly letting me know that I have another package from
Amazon.
LOVE LOVE LOVE my new sewing machine! I really dont have that much experience so I didn't want to spend much in case I ended up not using the machine. The $160 I paid for this Brother was more than I was intending on spending but way under what I would now pay for this machine.
It is so easy that my 6 yr old daughter enjoys helping me sew. We do not use the pedal, just the buttons to start/stop the sewing, raise/lower the needle and the sliding lever that changes the speed. I feed the material through most the time myself but I let her feed it on the slowest setting which is so slow it is basically like turning the wheel by hand.
Threading the machine and the bobbins and putting the bobbin in the bottom of the machine are all extremly easy.
The choices of stitches is awesome! (though I was sad when I noticed that one of the stitches in my manual was actual for the 80 stitch Brother instead of the 60 stitch one, I was looking at the wrong column).
To sum it up I love everything about it and wouldn't have bought anything different, plus I would have paid twice as much for this kind of quality in a sewing machine. I have no complaints at all :)
My wife wanted a sewing machine to replace her 35 y/o teenage purchase. My role is research. So I did my usual thing and read all the product reviews. Then started googling to see what I could find and went to a store to take one apart (did I mention that I am an engineer). At some point, I realized that Amazon has the same item, listed five different ways, one of which indicates that the item is no longer available. The listing with 27 product reviews is actually six bucks more than the same item with no reviews. Really outstandingly confusing. When we actually get the machine in her hands, I will update the reviews with more info.
