Title: Great little machine - until it broke less than 2 years after purchase!
Product review: I loved this machine and used it for many, many projects as I taught myself to sew - unfortunately, the plastic frame was not built to hold up long-term. After using it to hem a pair of jeans, the machine called it quits, only about a year and a half after I started using it. I live in a large metropolitan area, and was very surprised that the closest "authorized service center" was over 50 miles away! I took it to a local repair shop (and probably voided the warranty by doing so) and was told that the plastic frame or the needle arm had bent, and there was nothing that could be done for it. Although I really loved this machine when it worked, I'm not sure I would buy another Brother product since there are so few places to get them serviced in my area.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
