Buyer beware!
I bought this machine based on the good review written here. It is not worth the money. It is VERY picky about thread. The bobbin jams CONSTANTLY. I have broken every needle that came with it. I am an experienced sewer and was only sewing two cotton-blends together. The bobbin-case was scratched and was causing the jamming (according to the manual) so I bought two new ones at $35 each. With literally the first gingerly stitch with a new case, it snapped the neede in two. Today, after using up every needle I had, I still am nowhere near the end of my simple and lightweight project because the bobbin keeps jamming, for NO REASON. It was a total waste of money and I am really angry that I fell for it. I have another Brother machine with the same problem, different model. THEY ALL HAVE DEFECTIVE BOBBIN CASES!!!! KEEP AWAY!!!!
