Title: arrived broken
Product review: I bought this sewing machine because my previous machine stopped working, and I had a big project I needed to finish quickly. The Brother machine arrived broken. The stitch selector would only do a straight stitch. The dial wouldn't even turn to any of the other options. When I finally did get it to select the zig-zag stitch, the needle just moved up and down in place, not forwards and certainly not side-to-side. Also, the needle arm was out of alignment, so the needle kept hitting the metal plate on the base of the machine. I snapped two needles in the course of trying to sew a simple garment. It is not even worth my time to exchange this piece of junk.I gave it two stars, because it could do a straight stitch, and as long as you were only sewing together two pieces of thinner fabric, it worked okay. If you wanted to sew layers of three or more pieces of fabric, or something thicker like denim, forget it.
