Great machine! Sharing my fixit.
Great machine! But it has small flaw. the threader is made of a vinyl that will eventually crack (should have been made of metal). i searched the internet including Amazon and was unable to solve this issue until i decided to fix it myself. I made a washer-clamp to hold the threader together. Showing you in-case you have the same problem and are interested in fixing your brother machine. See photo 1 and 2. Good luck!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sewed a thousand or so masks in 2020
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2021
Gotta give this sewing machine some credit. Bought it in 2008 having never sewn a thing in my life. Tried a handful of small projects, promptly gave up and put a cover on it and it sat in my craft room.

April 2020 and everyone suddenly needs masks. And I remember I have a sewing machine sitting there. Re-taught myself how to thread it and use it and wound up spending the next year sewing about a thousand masks.

Every now and then it would frustrate me trying to get through thicker layers, but really? I can't say anything bad about the machine. It kept right on going and I actually found it pretty relaxing.

I will say DO NOT USE CHEAP THREAD. My machine hates the cheap thread. The better thread makes nice, consistent stitches. Cheap thread is all over the place no matter what tension settings I use.

Overall, it more than paid for itself all those years ago and it felt pretty good to be doing something to help out.
