Awesome buy for the price. Had this for about a year now. Been sewing on it nearly every day! It's wonderful. My only complaint is that when I back stitch at the beginning of my stitch it forms little loops on the back side. Other than that it's great. It's super easy to change out the feet! And it comes with nice feet too. VERY easy to thread. I never mind switching colors. Love the button hole foot; it took me a couple tries while reading the instructions to get one to sew, but I was being stupid and not following as well as I should have. ;) I've recommended it to several friends, and they love it too. My only problem is that I love using it so much I keep having to go buy more thread because I use it all up too fast. The fancy stitches are fun to use too. I've just started messing around and using them for details on things and they look great (I used a decorative stitch on the brown dress below; but around the bird was hand stitched - the other two dresses were also sewn with this machine). I also used it to sew everything in my nursery (photo attached). The nursery fabric is Pop Garden, and the play mat pattern is "la fleur playmat" by onegirl on etsy. The pillow is a free Sandi Henderson pattern.
What a fantastic machine! Its easy to use, easy to wind the bobbin and load the bobbin. Threading the needle is a breeze with the needle threader. I needed a machine that could stand up to sewing through thick cotton webbing. This machine handled it easily!
Got this as a Birthday present! Shipped in less then 24hrs (sister paid extra for faster delivery) to my doorstep! Super duper easy to use especially for beginners (and dummies) like me! LOVE THIS!!! Highly recommended!
I'm a beginner and this machine is very simple to use. It has enough features that I can learn with it for a while. I haven't had any problems with it so far. I kept my manual out and read along and practiced. It is lightweight and looks nice. I'm please with my purchase so far.
I have been using sewing machines to sew with since I was 13 years old, and this machine makes home sewing projects a breeze. I replaced my old 45 year old Singer machine with this and it was easy to learn to use. My old machine couldn't do MANY of the things this one does! Because this machine does overcasting like a manufactred piece of apparel, there are no worries about the article shredding in the wash! And, putting in button holes and buttons are a snap! I've been sewing much, much more since I bought this machine and it was well worth the money! Any one who sews with at least an intermediate level will find this machine to be a blessing!
This machine is amazing, within 5 minutes of turning it on i was making pillows, and quilts and shirts and everything. There are oodles of different stitches which are great, and there are different presser feet for w/e/ you need to do i am in love.
i run a small sewing business from my house and this machine is exactly what i needed. finding extra parts is a LITTLE harder.. but all in all, i'm very happy with it.
Got the box from Walmart in the mail. Opened it and read the well written instructions. Wound my first bobbin and started to sew. Easy! Got a new pattern and a couple of yards of a beautiful fabric at Walmart. 3 hours later I had a nice bag to carry around. There are several nice features on the Brother. The built in light is handy. The stitch selection is very easy. The machine is very quiet and is much smoother than my 30 year old Singer. I think this model fills the need for an inexpensive home sewing machine that most sewers would use to make things for the house. Curtains, clothes, and most sewing projects would be easy with this Runway Brother.
I got this machine to stand in for my old machine until I could get it repaired. I surprisingly after working with this one for a couple months did not get my old one repaired. There are a couple flaws with the machine's mechanics but otherwise it suits my needs. I sew as a part time job and this has worked out well. The auto threader can be frustrating if you don't have the needle in just the right position, but once you get the hang of it, I've never had a problem with it. Sometimes it will jam with heavier and very lightweight material but I've learned to use tear away stabilizer on lighter fabrics and to use a Jean-A-Magic on heavier fabric so it's evened out and it doesn't jam. For someone who depends on their sewing machine, I was surprised that spending so little could actually save me in the long run. I suggest reading all manuals completely and working on test fabric pieces before putting anything in the machine you are unsure about.
Well, as per the description, it is very lightweight, which made it super easy to return five days after I bought it. I'm so disappointed that I'm going to a different brand for my next sewing machine. This was billed as an intermediate model, and seeing as how for the last ten years I've been using a 12 stitch mechanical Brother that's been repaired twice and no longer sews a straight line, I thought it would be a great upgrade-- not too fancy so I wouldn't be overwhelmed by too many bells and whistles, but a shiny step up from what I've been using. And the automatic needle threader, that really made my spine tingle. In the end, I had this thing less than a week, and was so fed up with it that I couldn't wait to return it-- I actually went to the Wal-Mart customer service department on a Saturday morning! What I well and truly disliked about this machine was the design of the sewing area. The first (and only) thing I tried to make was a quilt block, and immediately saw that there was going to be a Big Problem. The drop-in bobbin (sweet!) is right in front of the feed dogs (bogus!) so the hatch mark for the 1/4" seam is a good two inches away from the needle well. There are no guides on the recommended (zigzag (?)) presser foot, although you could use a 1/4" foot (not included) or the zipper foot. On my old machine, I put the needle in the far right position and use the right-hand side of the presser foot as my guide. But the go-to needle position on this model is at the far left, and when I tried to get the needle on the far right using the "computer," the thread tension went all wonky and I gave up on that idea (already suspecting that this was going back to the store.) So, since you have to sew a 1/4" seam with the needle at the far left, you only have half of the feed dogs under the fabric-- the fabric's position is incredibly sensitive to any of your hand movements. I got some impressive wobbles going at times. But there's more backwards engineering in the sewing area layout. At the right of the needle, there is a large grid marked out in centimeters instead of the typical inch-based sewing guides. The standard US guides (5/8", 3/4", 1") are marked BEHIND the presser foot. Really, way at the back edge of the sewing area-- not at all where you need a guide if you're sewing a curve or setting a sleeve. Who cares what's going on backstage if the production has fallen apart right in front of the audience? And there's nothing etched on the bobbin cover in front of the feed dogs, either-- just a big no-man's land of guess-where-your-seam-will-be. The metric grid does not align (of course) with any of the other guides--should you try to use the near edge of the grid as your 5/8" guide, because it is kind of close, you'll be eating into your seam allowance by nearly 1/8th of an inch. I'm only in my thirties, but I've been sewing since I was about fifteen-- I'm not new at this. On the other hand, for the last ten years I've been using the same machine exclusively so I'm sure I've missed some important innovations in sewing technology. But I really have no earthly idea what that grid is about-- maybe it's for a universal continuum transfunctioner you can get on Ebay? This awful, impractical-- no, completely useless setup is the main reason I returned the machine. It looks to be standard on all the other non-embroidery/serger "I just want to sew things, please" Brother models, so I'm looking to Singer or Janome next. There were more things that bothered me about this sewing machine, if you want to know. The Brother website claims that it's "exceptional feed system enables effortless sewing on denim, tweed and other thick fabrics." But every time I hit a seam on my quilt block, I thought the machine was going to fly into pieces. It actually toddled on my table, and I was just sewing regular quilting cotton. And not incredibly fast, either (see previous chapter regarding the goosey fabric movement.) Also, something about the presser foot recommended for the straight stitch (the "zigzag" foot) seemed to work with the non-adjustable presser foot pressure to shear every seam I tried to match-- whether the seam allowances were pressed in the same or opposite directions. Yes, I use pins when I sew, but the only way I could get seams and points to stay matched as I joined them was to stop sewing a half inch before the seam, lift the presser foot, nanny the fabric into place, lower the foot, manually advance one stitch, raise the presser foot, fool with the fabric etc etc. I changed to my old walking foot and that helped the shearing problem. (I'm including a picture of a sheared seam in case a new crafter doesn't know what I'm talking about. And yes, I even quilted it in! Arg!) After I solved the shearing problem, I realized that I was still going to have to babysit every single seam, because the super-advanced positronic feed dogs were flipping, folding, or bunching the seam allowances if I didn't stop and manually finesse them back under the presser feet. And naturally, when I was packing this item back up, I looked at the manual again, and lo! there is a way to level the presser foot over bulky seams by raising it and fitting a little pin into the back of the foot hinge (page 31) which I tried and it didn't stay in and anyways I was only sewing a seam of four layers of cotton fabric, and the solution still involves stopping the machine and tinkering with it---meargghhh! The "computer" is an extremely attractive feature, it's probably what sold me on this model. Can't we all use a little extra brain now and again? The LCD screen displays the recommended presser foot for the stitch you choose, and automatically sets the machine to the optimal stitch length and position, so you need to look at the manual only frequently instead of constantly. However, the "computer" has no memory, so anytime you turn it off and back on, it resets everything back to its default. Since even the left-right needle position is "computerized" that will reset as well. This seriously bothered me because even my $5 phone can recall the last number I dialed, and this is an expensive and sophisticated piece of equipment! Every time I turned the machine on, I had to take the $10,000 Stitch Settings Challenge, which would make a multi-week project like a quilt top, Halloween costume, or in my case a simple potholder complete torture. My basement was blanketed in post-its and ripped out thread in no time. There were two more little things that just added a stinky cheese topping to my casserole of dissatisfaction... First, the thread cutter is not on the presser foot shank, or even close to the needle. It's way over and up on the side of the machine, so you can expect to waste a good 3"-4" of thread every time you use it. Or, if you like to be thrifty with your materials, be sure to keep your nippers handy. Secondly, the manual that I mentioned before is pretty good, but was written to serve several models, and you have to figure out which instructions you don't need to read. Because of all the different features mentioned throughout the manual that you'll read and try out before you realize that they don't apply to this model, be prepared to get sewing-machine envy right away, even if this is your very first one. Yes, there are models out there with adjustable foot pressure, speed adjustment, manual start/stop features, push-button needle raising/lowering capabilities, easier utility stitches, automatic reinforcement, and more and prettier decorative stitches. Seeing that did not help me love this machine. On the plus side, the automatic needle threader was just as cool as I thought it would be.
