Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I don't normally write reviews, but I wanted to take a minute to say I am really happy with my new Brother machine as well as the Grand Slam Package. The seller Mr. Vac & Mrs. Sew did deliver in two days and the packaging was very sturdy. I was very surprised to see two big boxes delivered. Once I had determined which was machine and which was goodies, I was more excited to open the additional box that came with my new Brother. I had expected the thread to be sample sized about 2 inches long and ½ inch in diameter. I was very surprised to see full size spools in 61 colors. Also were 144 bobbins all pre-wound and ready for me to start. Included was a full size of Tear away stabilizer, again I was expecting sample sizes. The Brother has been very user friendly; I have to admit I was a little scared to use it. It is my first embroidery machine. I read through the instructions briefly and I was off. (mostly to find out how to secure the material and stabilizer in the hoop). I feel like the guy from Ronco - you just set it and forget it. The only time you have to pay attention is when it is time to change the tread. I also like the options set up. I can have the machine programmed to back up / lock the thread at the end of a stitch and cut the thread for me when I finish. I am using this machine for quilting and I like not having to get out my scissors when I am piecing strips or squares. I have used it for quilting finish on one project so far and it walked great on the two layers of material and low loft batting. I it also embroideries through those layers just as easy. My first project was a baby blanket and I was able to put the babies name on after I completed the project. Nice big electric blue letters for a little boy. (thread was compliments of the "Grand Slam Package").
