I have always been a Singer girl but the last Singer I bought kept jamming and skipping and I always had to look up how to thread it.  I've been sewing for decades and if you stick with one brand, I would think I shouldn't have to keep going over a simple thing like threading the machine.  As soon as I plugged this in the threading was so simple to do without having to reference.  Smooth operations, lots of extra stitches.  Just all in all a really great machine.  Very happy with my purchase.

I just got this book in the mail, and am totally in love with it! I wanted it to make the 'Marcelle Medallion' quilt, but after poring over it all evening, I have found a slew of other projects that I want to make. Although there is a range of skill levels to the projects, there is a great offering, from quilts, to apparel, to accessories. The projects are fresh and fun. These days when I open up a sewing book, maybe 1 or 2 projects impresses me, but I am thoroughly impressed with not only the scope of the projects (25!), but how many of them are so appealing to me! The photography and layout is also beautiful. I studied the Marcelle pattern, since that was the one that I wanted to make, and although it's very intricate, I understood all of the instructions. I also like that this particular pattern is written in a way that makes it scrap-friendly.

Fabulous machine - works on heavy seams and quilts  The only problem I've run into - which is my own fault -  was that the needle broke because it hit the walking foot --  the needle screw came loose because of the arm of the walking foot laying on it and vibrated the screw loose  -  my bad because I didn't check it before sewing 6 hours straight!  Re-attached and the sewing is again fantastic!  Walks right over huge seams with ease!  Sews so straight and the needle lines up perfectly with the foot so stitching in the ditch is a breeze!  So happy I chose this machine instead of a Bernina -- much better product!

I use these for various sewing tasks (stuffing small toys, turning tubes, poking out corners), and it works wonderfully! I love mine!

I bought this mute as a gift for my neighbors, and I am very satisfied with it.  I have recently begun learning to play the violin, and it is not pretty, so I decided to act before I started finding flaming bags of dog poop in front of my door from the neighbors.  The instrument doesn't sound muffled at all, and the muting effect is surprising!  It just sits on top of the bridge, and deadens all of the sound from inside of the instrument.  It is also small enough to fit in the small compartment inside of my violin case, which I'm kinda thrilled about.
Definitely very satisfied with my purchase.. worth every penny!

I've only had my machine for 3 days now, but I have to say, I'm impressed!  The company included a DVD of how to wind a bobbin, how to load the bobbin, and how to thread the machine.  As a new sewer, I found this incredibly helpful.  After watching the DVD a few times, I was sewing in no time!  The machine has some amazing and fun stitches (such as letters, numbers, decorative stiches, and more).  It's made sewing fast, fun, and easy.  I highly recommend it!

I bought this sewing machine a month ago after not sewing for about 10 years.  I absolutely fell in love with it.  I have made several quilted items and they turned out gorgeous!  Well worth the price and would never hesitate to buy another Brother.

got it yesterday and put it together this morning just to sew a seem to wear a pair of pants that my last machine didn't do so well on. I used the bobbin fill easily and the seem came out great. The machine is pretty quiet, more than my last 2 singers. I also read a review that said the lighting was poor, mine was also poor until I realized there was another piece of cardboard protecting it; once I took that off the lighting was fine. So far, I love it. I will post any problems that present themselves during use.

This book is just what I was hoping for!  It makes pattern making accessible and will help me take my sewing skills to the next level.  Granted, the patterns are casual and simple.  But, that's okay with me because part of the fun is figuring out how to embellish and tweak designs on your own.

The projects from this book will be my summer project... if I can wait until then to start!

Update:  So far, I've drafted a sloper for an A-line skirt and a knit top. I constructed my first knit top today, and the fit is perfect!  I know other reviewers have cautioned that you may need to add bust darts if you're larger busted (like me.). I expect that's true if you're making a woven top. But for T-shirts this method worked for me.

If you hate to sew but find yourself doing it anyway, this is the machine for you! It even powered through thick theater curtain material! I made 4 15' x 35' pleated curtains for my local theater without any problem!!

Love this sewing box! It is a little smaller than what I first thought but still very worth it! Plenty of room for your other notions too! I think it would even work well for most crochet projects. Would also be great for those who love to do needle work of any kind. Love the vintage look fabric on the outside.

I'll admit I was a bit apprehensive about buying this machine when I read the mixed reviews, but I decided to give it a go, and am so glad I did. My little Michley, which I've nicknamed "Mitch", is fabulous for sewing on the go!  Lightweight and extremely portable, I can take it out in nature to sew while hubby is fishing or swimming.

I'm so happy it has so many stitch options, back stitch, and that it doesn't require a foot pedal (though it does include one).  It's "fast" speed isn't as fast as my big plug-in Brother, but still does the job.  I was expecting to sew smaller items with this machine, mainly prototypes to practice before sewing large scale on my big machine.  However, with care (and using the hand crank for the thick parts) I've been able to sew through three layers and have created a few zippered bags and pouches with "Mitch".

The only thing lacking with this machine is the user manual.  However, the fact that it even comes with a manual in this day and age is pretty awesome.  As other reviewers have mentioned, take advantage of the YouTube videos if you need help.  I had to watch to figure out how to rewind the bobbin thread when it ran out - that video was extremely helpful!

 This is a fantastic machine, but not necessarily a replacement for a larger, more powerful plug-in machine.  Remember, a sewing machine is a power tool.  You will not magically make beautiful, wonderful things without knowing how to operate your tools!  While I think this is a great machine for a beginner (and have taught a teen very basic sewing on mine) I'd advice anyone to use the YouTube and other online resources to learn how to use this machine specifically and how to sew in general.

Received this today just in time to finish up some of my Christmas sewing, this is the handiest foot for sewing with fleece! If you aren't familiar with a walking foot it has feed dogs on the top that move with the lower dogs and allows your fabric to be pulled through at the same time.  It's especially useful with fleece and knits (stretchy things). This foot works great and made my projects a pleasure to do today. Would recommend to anyone, it's a great addition to your sewing collection.

I love this song from the movie (and the original from 'Oliver').  Since I spend a lot of time in my sewing room, I use this tune as an alarm on my phone to remind me when it is time to start supper.  Or, to remember when it is time to leave for a dinner date with friends.  It is fun having a tuneful reminder instead of just a buzzing sound.

Would totally buy it again. Perfect for all my sewing needs. I love it
