I recieved this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I haven't sewn in years and had the opportunity to review the Brother XR9550. Let me tell you, this machine can do it all. I was a bit intimidated by it at first but found it easy to get set up and use. It really is a nice machine. I look forward to using it more and testing out all the fun features. I definitely recommend it if you are in the market for a new machine.
