"This is my first sewing machine. There are so many stitching options, but I've just stuck to the first stitch since I'm a beginner. It took me about 15 minutes to understand the setup, but the instructions were super clear and there's a lot online. I've only used the lowest speed, which is perfect for me as a starter, but it can get pretty quick for anyone who prefers that. It's really quiet, and I think it's definitely worth the investment."

The machine has been reliable for us, making various projects like costumes, curtains, and more. Overall, I am very pleased with this Brother machine."
