I was so excited when my Brother XR9550
                    arrived.  I've have never used a sewing machine; my grandma had taught me how to hand sew.  I've tossed the idea around a few times about getting one, so I can learn.  
                    I couldn't be more thrilled to be an owner of a Brother.
                    My machine was delivered and packaged with care.  
                    Once I got my sewing machine out of the box, I was ready to begin.  At first I felt a little intimidated by the size of the manual.  That was silly, because the manual is easy to read and informative.  
                    I'm excited to say that I was able to thread my bobbin, my upper and lower thread, and sewed my first sewing machine stitches!!
                    I'm very pleased with the Brother XR9550 and highly recommended it! 
                    I am looking forward to using all the other stitchings and Monograms!
