I have never sewn anything much less even thought I would ever know how do embroidery, but this machine is awesome...I had it set up and working fine in just one hour. This is my new hobby. The embroidery feature is easy after you figure out the tension settings and I have made awesome creations for my son. It is very easy to switch the machine back and forth from sewing. It was refrub. but looked just like new to me; I would recommendend to any new hobbyist. EASY and fun!! This is a very theraputic hobby; talk about stress relief.

I bought this machine as just a toy while my 17 year old Swiss machine went in to a refurbishing( I paid $2500 for that in 1988). I also wanted to try out an embroidery machine to see if I really wanted one. So, I am used to a quality machine that delivers consistent stitching on a variety of materials. I am surprised at how well this machine sews, how much fun the little features are: automatic threading cassette, automatic thread cutter-what a blessing!. It took a few days to get used to the computerized screen after using a mechanical for so many years. The embroidery machine is very nice and also takes optional cards. It does a beautiful job. On the downside, it has a lot of plastic parts which may not be durable. Overall, this machine is a great value, fun, and easy to use. I am really surprised at how nice it is.

Thisn unit works pretty well on light duty materials but labors much on material such as denim. i was forced to buy another machine to do what this one could not. I based part of my decission on another review which i am borderline regretting. All in all this worked out fine as we use this as an alternate use machine for a different thread color and stitch as well as light embroydery. Machine is good not great. TinyM

My sewing machine was a reburb, but other than not coming in the orignal box, it appeared to be new. Not having used a digital machine before I actually had to use the manual and was amazed at the ability of such a small sewing machine. Tried an failed at the embroidery so I enrolled at a class at a local sewing center. I found out machine embroidery is all about the stabilizers. I am very happy with my machine and look forward to playing with its many features.

I bought this for my wife and she absolutely loves it. The price was the best I could find and it only cost like $3 to ship it!! The only problem I found wasn't even technical, but the instruction book was a photocopy (because it was refurbished) and it was hard to see the different colors of thread. Other than that the performance is wonderful.

The machine is great, it's very easy to use and I am very happy with it's performance. The thing that concerns me is the Manuals. They came (Operation Manual -Quick Reference Guide and Disney Design Guide)in black and white, with the embroidery end of it you need the manuals in color so that you can see what is recommended. I have e-mailed the manufacturer two times and have not heard a word.

I love buying from Overstock.com because it is a practical way to save money and know that the products are dependable. The Brother sewing embroidery machine I ordered was a factory refurbished one. A part was missing (anyone can make a mistake) but it was sent immediately to me, without any questions or further cost to me. The machine does exactly what the advertisement states and I am enjoying all the stitches that are available. The best thing for me, since I am vision impaired is the ease in loading the thread and bobbin, and the bonus of threading the needle. The best thing I have purchased in a long long time.

I really love this Brother Sewing/Embroidery machine. I have never delt with anything so easy to use. I have tried all the regular stiches and some of the embroidery stiches - they all come out perfectly. Thanks for offering this great deal.

The Embroidery machine came in a plain box with all of its necessary accessories. It performs beautifully. I have been busy embroidering my grand childrens clothing, as well as my own and my wifes. The quality of the embroidery is 100% professional quality. I highly recommend this machine to anyone who is looking for a quality embroidery machine at a very low cost.

This machine is so fabulous for the price. My daughter was longing for an embroidery machine but all she saw were out of her budget. I gave her this one for her birthday and she is delighted. It sews beautifully. She was able to get additional designs and the software to put them on the machine with a card. I highly recommend this machine.

Machine works very well. As with any new machine, it takes time and practice to get everything just right. After a few trial runs (and reading all the instructions) the machine is working perfectly. Would recommend this product very highly.

I didn't think I was interested in an embroidery machine but, since I have a new grandchild, this machine has been delightful to work with. I bought it for its sewing capabilities, but I have purchased Ped-Basic and am having a lot of fun embroidering all sorts of items. The machine is easy to learn how to use, and the owners manual is helpful.

The first machine I received didn't work; the threader didn't thread and the bobbin kept pulling the fabric and the top thread into a knot. The replacement was quick and the customer service rep was great. The second machine is working better and I hope it doesn't go ka-put after a couple months.

I was pleasantly surprised with this machine. I purchased a refurbished machine, and it embroiders smoothly and quickly. I had another machine of comparable price, and the Brother is far superior. The Disney designs are adorable.

I bought this machine on a whim... I have never sewed before but always wanted to and I was really intrigued by the embroidery capabilities. The machine arrived and after looking over the manual briefly, I was up and running and sewed/embellished and embroidered dish towels and burp cloths in the first night! Everything was really easy to use and understand. The only down side is that the machine seems very fragile (however, that may not be exclusive or a negative to this machine... Not having sewed before, I have not had a lot of experience with sewing machines). The only other negative is that it is a tight squeeze trying to get the embroidery hoop into place on the machine. The clearance seems to be no more than a 1/4 inch. And the patterns the machine come with aren't all that great and left me wanting to buy more embroidery pattern options. But, overall it is a great machine and seems to be perfect for the new sewer or someone with much more experience as well. I thought the price was great and I would definitely recommend it.

I have had limited experiences with sewing machines and as my old one needed repairing again or replacing I decided to splurge and buy this Brother SE270D. I am very happy with my decision! I did take the time to read the manual first and so far all of my sewing experiments have been successful; even the monogramming has been easy. The LCD screen sure makes it simple to follow their guidelines. I only wish that it had come with a hard-case for storing.

At first I was concerned about buying this machine after reading some of the reviews. Most of them were postitive. But there were a couple that were quite negative. I did some looking at diffirent places and sites. This machine was priced better than all the other places I looked. As for the funtion , this machine is great for a new beginner for machine embroidery. You MUST read the entire manual and use the proper thread. The only problem I encountered using it was when I used a cheaper thread. I am quite pleased with this machine.

I love this machine, though I wish it had come with a DVD/CD ROM with directions. I work better after having seen it done. But once I figured it out, the fun hasn't stopped! I had a few times when the thread got stuck, but it was easy enough to fix. Overall, it's a great product, the designs are alot of fun.
