I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This is an amazing machine! The set up was so easy and I was up and running in no time. The machine is lightweight which is great because I do not have a designated sewing area so I have to put it back after each use. I have only been sewing for about 6 months but this machine is so user friendly that I feel like I have been sewing for decades.
