 Awesome Machine for Novice and Beginers August 28, 2010
1craftymomof4
I purchased this 2yrs ago. After my ghetto singer died after 15yrs. It was my moms when I was a kid. I needed it for basic sewing. I liked the high tech in it. So I purchased it. What a dream. It threads it self no bobbin issues. I can adjust the speed. i don't even use the pressure foot!! I use the button. I was a beginer sewer. I taught myself as a kid. And lets just say it was bad. With this Machine it looks like I have been sewing for years. i have now made clothes fo rmy daughters horse shows that are world quality. That people spend thousands on, and I custom design my own. Now I make my own clothes.
I am about to tackle my boys new quilts and bedding. I had not had the time to embroider. So tonight I went through the CD and learned. In one hour after playing around with the designs and test sewing. I just hook the design up and walk away and it's done. It sews fast and no fuss. Not hard to learn at all. I even used the regular needle. I had the right heavier needle but I felt it was leaving a bit too much heavy needle marks. I leave the tension on 3, the machine recomends 4. Between 3 and 4 it is a steady average. Now I can't wait to start embroidering towels and dresses for my baby. It opened a whole new dimention. Infact everyone gets homemade beautiful embroidered towels for christmas this year!
My 1 complaint. No USB, I find the designs I like are well not compatiable. There is a card set you have to buy seperate and now I will be purchasing to see about downloading into. Some people say 4x4 is the largest. So if I ever want to go pro and be bigger then Ill have to upgrade to a bigger machine. This machine is so easy my daughter who is 9 is using it.
My mother in laws 20yr kenmore froze up and I talked her into geting one like mine. Well I took it over and showe dher how it works. ( she is non computer savy) She ordered one off amazon and used my discount ( i work for amazon.) She got it in 2 days and it was a holiday weekend. She loves it and uses it all day every day.
As I said I am 29yrs old and this machine makes you learn how to sew easy and advance fast. I have had it for 2yrs now, and all I can say is, Time to embroider!
You won't go wrong with this machine. There is 4 different kinds of instructions. On the machine, book, CD, and LCD help screen on the machine. I mean it is idiot proof, loose the cd and instruction book thats ok it's on the machine!
 Sewing vs Embroidery July 24, 2010
Bridget M. Denson (Ledbetter, KY)
Got this for my birthday-LOVE the sewing options-don't have to use a foot peddle, great bobbin winder, easily self threads, touch LCD screen totally awesome; I've done several craft projects-made my granddaughter a sleeping bag and many, many purses for my daughter to sell with her other crafts. Got this machine because I wanted to learn how to embroider; a total let down! Can't do much with letters-can't do but one line. Went to a dealer and the only way I can do very much is to buy an adapter that costs $118 (PED Basic) on Amazon; additional cards to download to are expensive to buy as well-another $60, & anything I want to purchase from a dealer will cost anywhere from $60-$100.
There isn't a usb port on machine to use a memory stick which would be the best and cheaper option. I'm just disappointed in how much it is going to cost to be able to do what I was wanting-If I had known I would have put my money in a little more expensive machine. So, if your wanting to learn to embroider-spend a little more and get something else. (And do more research on the machine-don't wait til you buy one and find out the things I did)
 Great for sewing, costly to service... July 8, 2010

I have had this machine for almost one year. It has been a joy to use, covering my sewing, quilting and basic embroidery needs. I took it in for service this morning because of an issue with the top thread getting stuck behind the bobbin/race and they want $125 plus parts. That seems exorbitant for a machine that cost $350. I have used my basic old Singer for 10 years without service...seems like this machine should have held out a bit longer before needing repair work. My only other complaint is that the expansion card, PED software is costly. I now wish I had purchased a model with a USB port instead because the basic embroidery designs that are pre-installed are, IMHO, pretty useless with the exception of the fonts.
Easy to use, Durable, Kids can learn to use June 24, 2010

I Searched high and low for a machine and did not want to part with my money for a piece of junk. I knew I couldn't afford a "high end" machine. Not to mention I break everything in my path(Don't ask how many Vaccuums I have gone through).
DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY THIS MACHINE. I had a cheap basic model machine from brother that I originally learned on and was afraid that this was going to be a repeat performance.
The machines threader is by far the BEST. I have since used other high end machines whose automatic threader were no where near as easy.
My five year old daughter has been able to learn to sew on this machine with ease. As well as I have.
The only flaw (for a quilter) to this machine is the size of its bed. You will have enough room for a baby quilt and a lap/couch throw. After that your pushing it. I remedied this by going onto ebay and purchasing an OLD 15 series Singer sewing machine to do my quilting on After I was sure I wanted to continue with quilting. You can purchase a walking foot through Amazon for the Brother SE-350, Through Kens sew and Vac ( really good people,very helpful).
The drop in bobbin is easier than either two Janome I have used. By far.And the automatic thread cutter has been well appreciated by my Vaccuum not having to work as hard.
The machine is very stable on a table. The foot pedal is very controllable (wont take off on you, Even with it on near high speed)
The instructions are okay ( as good as your gonna get anywhere else ).
The bobbin winder is very even while winding, Not messy.
The only other machine that takes a beating like this one can are my vintage Singer machines.
Only one word of advice (as with any machine): When changing needles dont forget to put a cloth down under it, to prevent it going into the machine. I still have half a needle kicking around inside of mine.
This machine is money well spent.
Great for beginners wanting to learn to embroider! June 8, 2010
LaRae (Haughton, LA)
I got this machine because I wanted to personalize things I make for my baby boutique. I wanted to monogram and put names on burp cloths, etc. It did take a bit for me to learn all about stabilizers and how to hoop my items and such, but once I got that all down I love it! I can say that this machine is GREAT for beginners. I didn't want to fork out a bunch of money to discover I didn't like or couldn't embroider. I am glad I started with this machine. I can easily switch between sewing and embroidering and LOVE the sewing features on the machine. I haven't had any troubles with the embroidery side. Some say they have bobbin issues, but I haven't noticed any. I am using the correct bobbin embroidery thread so maybe that is their issue I dont know. I would definately say once you learn you'll probably want to get the PES card reader so you can do more designs. My next step is to learn to applique with the embroidery machine....anyone want to email me how?? lol
