Bottom-Line: All in all, the Brother SE-270D is a great starting point for anyone wanting the ability to embroider without committing to a high-end machine.

I'm not married to Martha Stewart, but I could very well be.  My wife is a domestic diva in her own right-a self-taught quilter who also sews home...

A nice embroidery machine for beginners.  The low price allows you to get aquainted with machine embroidery, and is affordable for most budgets.  It does the job for the hobbiest or casual crafter, but I wouldn't recommend it for professional use.  The programmed decorative stitches are nice, as well... read full review »

I saved for a year to get the Brother SE-270D sewing machine. I thought i'd be able to make gifts with the embroidery portion of it. After only 6 months, i started having problems with it. I've taken it in to the shop 3 time already, and still it messes up. After writing Brother & explaining the problems i've had, they basically blew me off. I'm very disappointed with the product AND the company.

I've had this machine for over 3 years, never using it. I thought it only embroidered and was not going to learn how to use it for embroidery only. Well, did I get a shock when one day I decided to read the manual. I now love this machine and will never use anything else.

The Brother SE-270D sewing embroidery machine is one of the greatest sewing machines I have ever used. I have at least 10 sewing machines all different brands. I am so impressed with this machines embroidery capabilities I don't think I'll ever hand embroider again.

     I have always been quite the crafter.  I always have thought that embroidery designs were so cool, but I never thought that I would have the talent to do them myself.  I bought this Disney embroidery machine at Walmart for a couple of reasons.  First of all, it's the only machine I could ever afford, and secondly, I love Disney and all the characters.  I finally decided to give it a try.

     I could not believe how easy it was to set up.  I have never sat within a foot of an embroidery machine, and yet the set-up instructions were terrible to follow.  Even with that said, within...

This is a great machine for the low- to medium-use home seamstress, however, it is not the best choice for someone who does a high volume of sewing or who sews very bulky items (like diapers).

It has nice built-in designs and stitches. The built-in Disney designs are especially nice for personalizing children's clothing. The interface is easy to learn and fairly intuitive - both my husband and our 8-year-old can use it.

The Quick-Load Thread Cassette is both a pro and a con, in my opinion. It makes threading the machine a bit more fluid, but the entire thing must be removed and reinserted every...

I have gone through 2 of these machines, the first one lasted about 6 months, I was quite pleased with it - user friendly machine, nice stitches and the embroidery feature was easy to operate.  After using it for about 6 months  I got an error message to loser the pressure foot, it was lowered, tried turning it off and back on to clr, called the company I purchased it from and they told me could not be fixed, computer glitch and they sent me a replacement as they had offered a one year warranty.  The second machine has been a nightmare, will not stitch consistantly, skips stitches, especailly... read full review »

I recently purchased the Brother Computerized sewing machine for my mother.   The SE-270D was perfect for her needs.   She has had many different sewing machines over the years and loves that she can sit down and push a few buttons and know what she is going to get when she begins to sew.    The machine contains many built in functions that make the sewing much easier for her.    I love it because she does.

Its a good deal at that price for a sweing machine that will do embroidery too. It its comes with more add on embroidery cards that will best deal. Its nice machine ,easy to understand & light weight. Would be good if it was more study. No place for storage(bobbins,foots,needles) etc in the machine.doesn't come with a hardcover.Over all a good machine for someone who is looking for an embroidery machine at a lower price.

Brother Sewing machine-computerized Se-270D. This is the worst embroidery machine I have ever used. Brother Disney 150 was better than this machine. Too many problems with the bobbin on this machine

I love creating crafts especially with the children in my neighborhood and so have come to be known as the craft lady by the neighborhood children. A sewing machine such as this one would make it a lot easier in creating a lot of the crafts the children and I create. It would help to personalize their Halloween bags and outfits a little moreso with the embroidery as well as being able to sew it together a lot easier. Our pillows we create for Christmas gifts could be a little more personal along with the pajamas I create and dresser scarves I embroider and crochet all the time for our yearly family... read full review »

I got this machine for myself  in 2006. It was the least expensive embroidery machine with the best features that I could find. While I had some issues at first ( my first machine the needle threader broke but Brother promptly replaced the machine) once I became comfortable with it, I have been having alot of fun!

The most important thing to know...get the PES design basic card and reader! It is about $100 but SOOO worth it! With it you can download thousands of designs for free off the web and you can buy some too. Much less expensive than getting design cards which have anywhere from 6-30 designs...

I love the brother PE 270.  It is a computerized embroidery & sewing machine combination.  I primarily use it from embroidery because I have another sewing machine and do not want to take the embroidery carriage off.  It takes a little craft experience to get used to but it really is a neat addtion to my crafting room.  So far I have embroidered bags, stocking and dog bandana's.  I finally have the hang of embroidering the lettering without problem.  If you are sewing savvy and want to move into embroidery this may be the machine for you.

 

It is my favorite new addtion to my crafting abilities...

This is a great machine for the home crafter!  It is compact and easy to use but has tons of great features you will find in larger more expensive machines.  The 4" x 4" embroidery area is large enough for many projects like handbags, towels, baby gifts and so much more.  I have had this machine for almost a year and haven't had any problems with it even though I use it quite a lot.  I love it! Especially the thread cassette - which I have heard many complain about. Thanks Brother for another great machine!
