Brother LB6770
Prior to owning this machine, I have always had Singer sewing machines. My first machine was a gift, many years ago and I had it until my oldest daughter was heading for college. So I can't say it wasn't a great machine, because it was. This one is simply better.The Brother machine, (my third machine, actually), has many features my other two machines didn't have. The biggest difference is that this one is computerized...never had that before...and I must say, it makes life much easier. Changing stitches is a breeze..just touch the screen and presto...new stitch..One of the greatest benefits of this new machine is that it is self threading...what a plus. Right now threading the machine isn't a problem, but as I age I am sure my eyesight will not be as sharp as it is now and threading the machine could have been a problem...not now. With the simple pulling down of a lever...it's threaded. Although I have not used it as yet, it also embroiders! We'll see what happens next. Durability only negative is the self threader moves out of alignment, but can still thread it the old fashioned way
