Brother SE 270D I love it!

Brother SE270D Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machine
I purchased this machine about a week ago. I wanted an embroidery machine and did not want to invest a lot.After reading the directions and gathering what I needed in thread and stablizer I set up the machine for the first time.I absolutely love the way it winds bobins, easier than my Janome. I went through all the basics at first with different types of stitches and learned the on screen prompts with ease. I moved on to the embroidery functions and am very pleased. I picked up some free information on embroidery from my sewing shop and am amazed at what this little machine can do. It is small and light weight but for me that is great. The thing you have to do is start at the beginning and "read the directions carefully." There are a lot of functions and as far as I am concerned for the price it can not be beat. I do sewing for personal use and my family and think this will be a lot of fun to use. I used a design card by Simplicity that I also bought at the same time and had no trouble at all. Was easy to edit designs for placement and was surprised I was able to do this being new to this type of machine. I would only buy cards made for this machine or download with the Brother accessories you can get for this. I did find out my sewing store can make cards for this machine that work great, and that is because they use the all Brother cards and download tools. I know there are higher end machines and they can do more but for someone that has a good sewing machine and just wants to add embroidery and not spend a lot this is great. I have been sewing for over 40 years and using a new machine can be frustrating. This was NOT true of this machine. For standard sewing it is also great but I will contine to use my Janome for most of that and use this for the embroidery features. The monograming fonts built in are great and one of the reasons I wanted to get into this type of macine.
By the way I bought this from Amazon on a Saturday and it was here in 3 days, free shipping used!
