This is my first experience with home embroidery and this is a great little machine. It is easy to operate and even better as you become familiar with the icons on the LCD screen. There are also several attachments that can be purchased to enhance your embroidery experience even further. Possibilities are endless! I would recommend this machine to anyone who would like to learn home embroidery.

I've enjoyed using this sewing machine. It's very easy to understand how to use because I've never been able to sew anything. I'm still learning and having so much fun. The embroidery part is easy to use also.

Love this machine. It's very easy to use. I bought this for a spare machine and have I've put my more expensive machine away.
The price is very reasonable and the stitch is perfect.

I recived my machine a few days ago and am still learning. I was so amazed at all the sewing machine could do. Since I purchased it for the embroidery part, I wasn't interested in the sewing machine. I am in awe of the sewing features. I had no idea that for this price point, sewing machines, could do all that this machine can do.

Wow..I always wanted to learn how to sew and what a machine to do this on..I purchased in Jan of 08 with NO knowledge of how to even thread a needle or what a bobbin was...i have been sewing for 3 months now and can't get enough..making dresses/embroidering/quilting and even made a purse...this is so simple to operate and the manual is extremely easy to understand--I never thought I could do this....and am surprised at how simple this is to operate!!
Great deal!!

I got this machine 3 weeks ago. Started using the same day. The instruction were very easy to follow. However, last night it began making a terrible banging noise coming from inside the machine. I boxed it up and spoke to a customer representative about returning. She was very helpful.
I am very sorry to have to return.

I just received it in the mail yesterday and tested it out, I LOVE this machine. easy to set up and use, read the manual twice to make sure I understood everything. the PED Basic was easy to load and use, I downloaded patterns from Brother's web site. A great deal for the money, definatly worth every penny and then some.
Will totally enjoy using this product!!

I looked around a lot before I decided to purchase this machine. It was the best thing I ever did. I started to sew the first day and I made several Christmas gifts. My 8yr old grandaughter made her mother an apron for Christmas and my 6yr old grandson made a pillow for himself. I just led the way and watched as they sewed on. They have programed everything even the words themselves. They even use the ped. It is that easy. Love it, Love it, Love it.

I bought the machine for her for Christmas. Since then she has made us both lounge pants and the machine is remarkably quiet. A great investment. She loves playing on it and figuring out new things to make.
Thank you HSN for the flexpay. It really made her christmas this year.

I've been having so much fun, Im just know getting to the review. First day out of the box I was sewing within minutes. I read a bit and was monogramming scarves within minutes. It is sooo easy to use and I love the cartridge threading and the auto thread cutter. Ive never had an embroidery machine and have been researching for at least a year. The brother seemed really affordable. Its awesome. I havent got to the ped basic yet but Im sure it will be wonderful too.

I saw this on HSN and love their return policy. I like having it delievered to my home and trying it out under my own typical sewing conditions. I LOVE this machine. The stitches are beautiful, love the fancy ones, and love the automatic backstitch and cutter. WOW~What a time saver. The bobbin winder is a dream. Emroidery is easy to learn too! PED is super easy! The only thing I dont like is the the sewing area and open arm is a little small & tight. I can learn to work with it though.

This is my 1st embroidery machine & I love it! I made Thanksgiving designed napkins & monogrammed them for each of my dinner guests. They were so impressed! The PED is easy to use. Just download the designs to the computer, then on to the PED, then take the card and insert it into the machine. I am so happy with this purchase and highly recommend it.

Ok. I've never used an embroidery machine or thread cartridge before and well I was slightly discouraged after the 1st use and the 2nd. I have to get used to using the thread cartridge. Other than this little problem. I have been embroidering my mornings out. It's great!

Hello,
This machine has a great price. It is easy to use. Included all the accessories you need to get started. The only option it does not have the USB connection but you can still connect to a laptop or PC via the re writable card. The only difference with this machine and the 1000 machine is the software. With the 1000 most likely you will receive software to make custom embroidery. With this one you can still enjoy down loading premade images with half the cost of other models.

I had this machine and the thread breaking was a big issue. I did use good thread. There is no way to manually thread this machine. I ended up reutrning this one and getting a Brother 1200 with I love. I think this is not brother's best so do your homework and save up for a better choice. I am so glad I did.

I only had my machine for four months when the machine broke. Removing the cartridge with each change of thread seems to be hard on the machine parts. The thread that I used I purchased from a Brother dealer for use on this machine. Because I don't live near a Brother dealer I had to ship the machine for reapir and it was gone for ten weeks. The PED Basic is the best part of this package. I was happy with the machine until problems started.

It works great & easy to learn. I had bought this machine to monogram. I was monogramming with in 10 minutes of setting the machine up. I love it. The cutting features are my favorite! Everyone in family has come by to see my new toy & they all fall in love with it. This is a great buy. I searched online for several months to find the best buy for my money. And the flex pay option makes it so easy to pay for. Thanks HSN for a great offer on a great product!
