It is still fairly new to me and I'm taking the free classes to learn how to use it. I'm an experienced sewer but this was a little overwhelming to me at first. But after learning, I love what I can do with it. I'm amazed at the difference between my old mechanical machine and what this does with ease. I have a little trouble with the threader and knotting, but as I said, it's still new to me so I may be able to solve this eventually. Our local college is very happy with 210 model but I liked the 420 better. I highly recommend, and highly recommend Sewing Machine Plus.
Nice machine

I just got back into sewing and wanted a new machine. The reviews were great, so I went ahead and purchased this for my birthday. First my manual did not come with all the pages. I had to send away for a new one. I am still having a hard time with the thread knotting at the beginning of my straight stitch line. I have tried changing tension, needles, thread, but nothing works. This was one of the big reasons I wanted a new machine. I do mostly home decor and have to sew on the wrong side of the fabric, so when I back stitch, the front side starts with a tangled mess. I have no idea how to fix it. Other than that I love the machine with all the feet that came with it and the ease of use, it is a great machine.
Wonderful!

My husband gave this as a surprise present for my master's graduation. What a joy! Especially useful is the needle threading feature. I design and build costumes and would recommend this machine to everyone... beginners to more experienced.
This is the one!

This is the machine I upgraded to. I saved and saved for this beauty, and I'm glad I did. The manual is amazing and understandable! The stitching looks perfect every time. The ease of use is like riding a bike. I am in love with the self needle threading part!
I'm looking to add to this machines foot collection.

I sew alot for my kids, make gifts and home decor and this machine has changed my life. I knew I was good at sewing but was not using a great machine. I finally took a chance and upgraded and I LOVE THIS MACHINE!!! It was recommended by so many sites and with all the extra foots, you can't find a better deal. Plus, it is so easy to use and book is very easy to follow. I love being able to just sit down and start sewing without hassle or fuss. The auto tension is awesome and I love all the different stitches!! SewingMachinePlus.com has been amazing and very avaliable whenever I have needed them!!! Thank you

this machine is stellar! i have it and just love the quality of the stitches. the scissors to cut the thread is the perfect addition to this machine. the machine is easy to thread and the knee lifter is an added perk. i have a machine that has the knee lifter but does not cut the thread like this one and above all this machine is easy to use it is good for a beginner as well as a person that has been sewing for years. this machine is a nice addition to my sewing arsenol and room. you will not be disappointed with this machine.
Awesome

I recently purchased this machine for a pickup and go machine. Boy was I blown away by the power of this machine and all the extra presser feet. I am able to do all the things a larger machine can do but on the go and without having to buy a lot of extras. I have been sewing for more than 45 years on various machines and this machine is a real treat. The manual is very good with how-to details especially for a beginner. I would highly recommend this machine to any one. It is very quiet and blends into the background. Brother just keeps coming up with better, more economical machines for all of us who are always on the go. Thanks
Fabulous Sewing machine

I recently purchased this machine and I have been in sewing heaven ever since! I love this machine, it sews like a charm, doesn't hesitate, so easy to thread, auto needle threader that actually works everytime, I could go on and on. This machine is loaded with all the things you could want. I have sewn for over 40 years, what a treat to own a machine of this quality. I have never sewn on a machine that was so quiet and responsive. If you're looking for the perfect machine, this is it! The first machine I ever owned was a Brother and it was a great machine too, I will never stray again!

After months spent studying all the reviews for a jillion sewing machines on the web, I decided that a Brother PC420-PRW was the machine that was most likely to please my wife! Even though I am 92 years old, I was right. My wife loves the quiet efficiency, the incredible number of things that the machine can do and the fact that she was able to learn to use it without difficulty, even without reading the instructions. (I Read the instructions and taught her.) Pretty amazing!
A phenominal machine!
Wonderful Sewing Machine

My old Brother machine is over 25 years old and I hardly ever had problems with it. I recently became interested in quilting and decided it was time to upgrade to a new machine. I am very pleased with this one! It has so many wonderful features and I'm having so much fun with it. It is very user-friendly. At first I was a little intimidated when I got it out of the box and was afraid I would have problems figuring out all the computerized functions, but in no time at all I had it up and running. The manual is very easy to read and the machine is a breeze to use. I'm very happy with it and can't wait to get busy quilting. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! I love it!
This machine is AWESOME!

This machine is AWESOME! Its so fast and easy to thread I could thread this machine with one hand and my eye's closed. I didn't even need someone to help me. The directions are simple to follow and very easy to understand for beginners. I can't say enough about this machine. It's very light weight and easy to store. The price is amazing for what you get. If you are thinking of buying a machine, whether you have been sewing for a long time or you're a beginner, don't let this machine pass by. I've done a few projects already and I'm in the process of making a quilt! Great purchase!
Worth every penny

I do alot of sewing (clothes & alot of crafts) It's just a super fantastic machine!!! I looked at alot of machines over the past few months, this one chose me! The price was the lowest, that I could find, on other websites. Good job Sewing Machine Plus!!!

I bought this machine because I wanted to make a good keyhole buttonhole without spending thousands of dollars. This machine makes an excellent one and much more. The stitch selection is extensive-more than I will ever need. It has a nice feel while sewing. It is easy to use, and the manual is very easy to read. Overall I am very pleased with its performance.
AWESOME!!

I have sewed my entire life and just love this machine. It does everything that the expensive machines do without the price. I just love all the features, and the quality of the machine, all the stitches, the knee lift, the ease of use, everything! I spent hours just stitching the 294 different stitches and loving every minute of it. I will own this machine the rest of my life.
WONDERFUL MACHINE

I sew a lot of crafts and clothing and now do a ton of quilting. I have owned computerized machines in the past but nothing as user friendly as this one. It is wonderful!! Simple to thread and operate, beautiful features, the knee lift is fantastic! I love it. Five minutes out of the box it was set up and sewing perfectly. I absolutely love it and will be doing a lot of projects with it. I cannot believe this machine was so reasonably priced and has so many nice features! This is definitely a high end machine in my opinion! Thank you for answering all my questions, and offering me free phone support for life, you do not see that kind of service anymore. It doesn’t look like I’ll need to use it with how easy this machine is to use.
Excellent Choice*****
