The threading was a little fiddly at first, but the directions are on the machine, which helped. And, the controls are slightly different from what I’m used to, but that’ll improve with time.
I gave this machine 4 stars because, after I made some buttonholes, it would only sew in reverse. A couple of YouTube videos later, I was able to fix that by moving the hand wheel back and forth several times. The problem may have happened because I forgot to put a lever back in place after making the buttonholes - the gearing got out of whack somehow.
It does not appreciate cheap thread - I have several spools of department store thread, and the Brother said “nope” to those.
I’ve had no further issues with the machine and can recommend it for anyone who wants a sturdy machine with some modern updates for sewing clothing, housewares and the like.
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2023
I am able to sew through 1/4" DENSE rope, wrapped in fabric (with a fresh denim needle).
When the going gets tough, you can just use the hand dial to finesse the needle through the material.
(My expensive quilting machine came to an emergency stop when trying to sew through the same stuff.)
The max width for zigzag stitching is 7mm which is great! Some only go to 5mm.
(same bobbin size as other Brother and Babylock machines)
