Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got this machine a year ago as a beginning sewer.I really loved it and was able to learn and make many things with it.I discovered and confirmed that sewing was going to be my 'thing'.I did not want my husband buying anything too expensive or fancy just in case I ended up not liking to sew.
Its a basic model and I don't need all of the fancy extras anyway.But now a year later, as my sewing confidence is growing and I am moving on to try new things, the machine stopped working right.There is some sort of problem with the thread.Its not the tension, I have tried everything.We have oiled and dusted it, changed thread, bobbins and fabric.The manual is terrible and not very helpful.The machine still runs but after a few stitches, the thread either breaks or comes out.
It may be a simple problem to fix but not something we can figure out.Since my husband got it for so cheap (and even on sale) he decided to get me a new one instead of paying to have this machine repaired.
We got a Husqvarna Emerald for $299.(a basic model) There is no comparison in how it runs its sturdier and even though its a basic model it has many nice extra features and the manual is great.
Having said that, there is no way that one year ago I'd have wanted a $300 machine not knowing if I would like sewing or not.
The Brother worked great and was easy to learn on, I just think it should have lasted longer than a year.3 Months ago I probably would have given this 5 stars. Thats how happy I was with it until I started having these frustrating problems.(and an added note...a Husqvarna never needs oiling! How about that?)
