I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I wanted a sewing machine to start making some clothes for my baby. I haven’t sewn since high school home-ec class so I didn’t know where to begin. So far this machine has been a good start. It is easy to use and I found many helpful videos in YouTube. So far I’ve only done a few practice pieces but I think this machine will be a great start for me.
