Brother Brother SE270D Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machine Review

Brother's computerized SE270D features 97 built-in embroidery designs including 27 Mickey Mouse and friends designs and 70 additional designs for floral, seasonal and many more themes. There are five built-in monogramming fonts in three different sizes help create a variety of insignia, logos, and emblems.

The machine in general - threading the needle couldn't be easier, you slide in the cartridge and it does the rest for you! It has a foot pedal, but it also has a button on the front of the machine that works the same way if, like me, you are not so talented with the foot work! The machine is lightweight enough to enable you to move it around easily, but heavy enough to be sturdy and sound. The touch screen is extremely easy to use, and it even includes a help section, in case you should get stuck and don't want to go back to the manual. Overall, it has all the features of older machines, plus some, without being too complicated that you aren't use it!

It has quite a few Brother Embroidery designs and fonts built in, as well as several Disney character designs. All of these are fascinating to watch as it does it's work and, when finished, they look very professional.

The machine has a slot for cards that you can buy with further embroidery fonts and designs. Basically, you slot it in and they appear as options on the screen. I haven't yet bought any of these, but I've seen them around.

It also has the capability to accept your own designs... for this you will need to buy a card reader and software.

I have been extremely happy with this machine. I am not an experienced machinist, but it enables me to do so much without overwhelming me.
