Amazon.com Review
Durable, sophisticated, and highly versatile, this sewing machine features 70 stitch functions, 50 built-in stitches, and computerized controls that render sewing tasks precise, quick, and efficient. The machine's quick-load cassette threading system automatically threads the needle, and an LED monitor makes stitch selection simple and clear. Designed for utility, decorative, heirloom, and quilting projects, the machine sews straight, zigzag, overcasting, and blind hem stitches as well as appliqué, patchwork, and free-motion quilting stitches. It has settings for stretch and elastic stitching, reinforcement stitching, eyelet stitching, and five different varieties of decorative stitching, scallop and smocking included. The extensive menu also includes a built-in one-step buttonholer with automatic sizing and five styles for speed and convenience. Thread tension adjusts automatically with a manual dial for customization, while speed is adjusted electronically for exact comfort and control.

Quilting extras on this model include programmable needle-stop position and drop feed capability, while standard conveniences include adjustable stitch width and length, a reverse-sewing option, and a flat sewing surface that converts to free-arm for cuffs and pant legs. Brother's design incorporates a built-in sewing light and carrying handle, as well as a cache for accessories. The accessories here are extensive, including feet for buttonholes, overcasting, monogramming, zippers, blind stitching, and button fitting. The machine also comes with a seam ripper, four bobbins, a needle set, a twin needle, an eyelet punch, and a cleaning brush. A quick reference chart and a bilingual instruction manual in Spanish and English help you when you get stuck, and a cloth cover protects the machine. This model carries a 25-year limited warranty. --Emily Bedard

I purchased this machine and am very pleased with it. It has some beautiful stitches, and is very easy to use. The price was great too for this 70 stitch machine. I recommend this machine to anyone who is just learning to sew.
