Brother SE-270D Computerized Sewing Machine

When I first bought this machine I was scared to use it. I have had sewing machines for years so it was not because of lack of experience with them.
I read the manual for 3 weeks and my husband said if you are not going to use it we will take it back to the store. So I decided to get over my fear of messing it up.
I kept the manual beside me every time I used it till I felt confident enough to sew or embroidery without it.

I would definitely buy another one of these machines if I had it to do over. It has turned out to be the easiest to learn on and it sews just beautifully.
Not only does it embroidery well, there are many fancy stitches you can use to decorate childrens'or adult clothing, pillowcases, pillows,curtains, etc. There are 67 sewing stitches to be exact.

It has a beautiful button hole stitch to use on applique for Sunbonnet Sue quilt blocks or whatever applique you like. There is also a feather stitch that is very pretty for the edges of the applique items. People have ask me if I did these stitches by hand. They look so good.

There is an eyelet tool that comes with it and an stitch you use to make the eyelet design and you use the tool to make the hole for it. It looks just like the eyelet fabric you buy. This is good for making lace trim with for many items.

The scallop stitch is very pretty to go on the edge of the fabric when making pillowcases or curtains, tablecloths, or fancy dresses for little girls.

One of the stitches looks just like cross stitch designs. I made a pair of curtains for my bathroom and used this stitch along the edge of the bottom and top and it looked really good.

Another stitch I like to use is what I call the star stitch. It stitches little stars in a row. This makes a very decorative stitch to use for many items.
There is a stippling stitch to use for quilting. I have used this for potholders and for small baby quilts. The end result was very successful.
Buy the walking foot that goes with the machine. It is perfect for the quilting. There is also a guide attachment that goes with it that helps you keep the quilting in row.

I forgot to mention the beautiful buttonholes it makes. It is so easy to use. The machine sews on buttons too. They will stay on better than when you hand sew them on. The triple stitch is great when your kids rip the seat of their pants. It will not come loose after you triple stitch it together.

I have only touched a few excellent points about buying this machine. It could go on and on. I would highly recommend this for a first machine for someone who has no sewing experience. It is great for the experienced seamstress, too.
I have used it for three years and it still sews just perfect. I sew a lot so it is used very often. I have 2 embroidery machines and I have a lot less problems with this machine than the other more expensive one.

The only dislike I have of this machine is that it does not use a large enough embroidery hoop. Once you get into the embroidery you will find more designs for larger patterns and you can only use the 4x4 size hoop with this machine.

Besides the fancy stitches, there are many different feet to use, it cuts the thread, and automatically threads the needle for you after you set it up.
There are many beautiful embroidery designs built into the machine. Lots of fonts for doing Monogramming for towels,pillowcases, or clothing. It is a great machine and well worth buying for the price you pay.
