This little inexpensive sewing machine does and excellent job.  It is portable and lighweight.  It is extremely easy to thread and to sew with.  The instruction guide is very easy to understand. This machine is one tough worker.  I've sewed everything from fine lace to jean material and it doesn't skip a beat. It is an great machine for beginners and for advanced sewers. It has many capabilites and sewing options. It is very easy to jump from one option to another.  The bobbin is a standard one and I wish it was the drop in but it is okay as long as you tread it right and as long as the...

I love this machine. It does everything you could ever want to do with a machine. It even tells you how to use it.  I am scatter brained and lose "how to" books all the time.  This machine has all the how to's on the machine's computer screen.  I've been sewig for 40+ years and wish I could have had this machine years ago.  It was worth the price.  I will pass it on in my will.

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...

I got this as a birthday gift and didn't know how to sew beforehand.  It was extremely easy to use and has had no problems.  I've been able to sew small and large projects with this machine without any problems, and the quality and price of this machine can't be beat!  I'd recommend it to anyone who likes to sew, and is greatly for any level of sewing expertise!

I got this machine when I was learning to quilt.  It is almost 10 years old and still going strong.  There is not much that this machine can't do.  I use it often when I give sewing lessons to children because I can control the speed level.  The children are also enthralled by the many stitches and this helps to keep their interest.   But the machine, by its very name, is made for  quilting.  I have made full-sized quilts and done all the stippling myself.  The machine can handle itself in just about any sewing room.  It is also a very portable machine.  It's lightweight enough for...

This might be good for the occaisional hem, but in my opinion it would be better to spend a little more and get a sewing machine that doesn't skip stitches or regularly jam.  This seems to have problems with both of those issues.

I purchased it to use for quilting.  Wrong move.  The preser foot regularly gets jammed with thread, causing you to stop, trim and start over, wasting much time.   The bobbin can be difficult to thread, and, again, often gets jammed.

For the money, I thought it was a good deal.  I was wrong.  I should have spent just a little more to get a machine with more features...

I purchased this machine with the last bonus from my company. I was so excited, but that did not last long. After 2 trips to the shop it still does not work. The bobbin jams, the thread breaks, then the timing gets messed up. Now Singer will not do anything for me. I cannot afford to fix it or to buy a new machine. As it is I have over $1000 wrapped up in this machine. Now it is just a very large paperweight. I would love to see a class action lawsuit started against Singer. There are more people out there that have had trouble with the first series of Futura machines. The bobbin case and timing...

I have been wanting a new sewing machine for many years.  I stopped sewing around 1990 when my son was born and sewing no longer saved money. My old machine was 35 years old and just didn't look worth fixing up when I dragged it out of the closet this summer.

I researched sewing machines for several months, both online and in consumer research magazines. This machine perfectly fit my needs.  I wanted a machine that I could sew, learn to embroider, and also learn to quilt, all with the same machine. I did not want or need the top of the line machines rated best by Consumer Reports, nor could I...

I purchased the Brother CS6000 in 2006 from Wal-Mart and so far all I have been able to accomplish is a few mending projects. The machine is made for people with tiny nimble fingers. The glare from the LED light hitting the chrome parts makes it near impossible to see what you are doing. The operating instruction book is not well organized and incomplete. Heavy duty sewing is out of the question. For light material sewing, no matter how you set the pressure, material wanders and stitches bind preventing forward movement of material. I have been sewing for years and this machine is very aggravating....
