Title: Do NOT buy this sewing machine!
Review: Based on the reviews, I thought this Brother would be a very good starter machine, and it is just that. It *starts* off fine. But I am now dealing with the same problem on my second replacement machine. For a while, the machine runs great, is easy to use, and then the lower bobbin thread starts to mangle here and there. Eventually, the bobbin thread is such a mess that it is unusable. I'm not doing anything complicated, not trying to sew through leather, and this problem crops up to a debillitating degree within a few months (bought my first in June 08, had replacement in August 08). I know people who have bought similarly inexpensive machines by other brands and have had no problem with this issue. And Consumer Reports is finally scheduled to publish sewing machine reviews in February 09, so my advice is wait to follow their recommendations.
