Title: Hope it's better than the Brother model I bought on this site
Product review: I purchased a Brother sewing and embroidery machine on this site in 2005. I believe that model, PE-400D, has been discontinued. And no wonder -- what a piece of junk! In the first six months of use, I had to take it in for a $169 dollar repair when the touch screen stopped working reliably. Recently (April 2007) it began exhibiting the same problem.I paid $399 for this machine, which was a huge discount over the prices I saw elsewhere for similar machines. But one more trip to the sewing machine shop and I'll almost have purchased the thing all over again, with no guarantee that this repair will permanently solve this problem. (Or whatever other problems start cropping up.)I'm going to donate this machine to some worthy cause, warning them that they'll probably never be able to do anything but straight stitching. I'll also make a solemn promise never to buy another Brother product, ever again.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
