I am extremely excited about sewing on my new Brother sewing machine! I have never owned this brand. After working on a Brother during my sewing workshop, the ease with which it sewed, as well as the fact that it has features that my current machine does not even think about, convinced me to set my bar much higher, so I bought one!! it also embroiders which is just amazing! My granddaughter and my crafting hobbies will certainly benefit from my new machine!! looking forward to working with you, Brother!!
