I recently upgraded to this machine from a 10 year old Kenmore I was having issues with. What a find! This machine has lots of bells and whistles, which is an added bonus, but it’s also very user friendly. I’ve already produced a tote bag on it and look forward to working with it more in the near future.
I wanted a reliable machine that had multiple functions, so that I could expand beyond my current methods to something more elaborate. This machine has met my expectations so far. It sews smoothly through multiple layers of fabric, interfacing and lining, with ease. I haven’t even had to use the foot pedal as there’s a start/stop button feature! I feel like I’ve stepped out of the dark ages into the future. =) I’m hoping that the machine lasts, especially for the price, but for now, I’m satisfied with my investment. I would recommend it to anyone considering buying it!

This is an amazing sewing machine that anyone can use. I’ve been a sewer since childhood and I have several machines, 2 are Brothers. Both of my Brothers are extremely user friendly, amazing value for the price, wonderful highend features, awesome stitch selection, wonderful auto-thread cutter, reinforcement/reverse stitching, always needle down, speed control, the ability to design your own stitches, programable memory, stitch combinations, and extremely easy to use. This machine will last me forever.

This a nice machine. I read the manual through once and was able to sew on it with confidence. I usually have trouble getting used to a new machine. It’s very quiet and sews like a dream. There are many features that most seamstress’ would love. My favorites are the automatic threader, the adjustable sewing speed (you can go real slow when working on something intricate), the auto thread cutter and the one touch reverse stitch. There are so many more features that I haven’t used yet. I’ve only found one thing I don’t like and that is the automatic presser foot lift and lower feature. There is a metal bar thing that goes under your sewing table and you use your knee to raise and lower the foot. It’s kind of hard to do although I’m sure it would get easier with practice. I just do it manually. This is a solid, well built machine. I was using a $700 Husqvarna. Boy did I get ripped off when I bought that one. This machine can do so much more and was almost half the price. I did a lot of research looking for a new machine. Consumer reports recommended a different “Project Runway” machine. I looked everywhere but couldn’t find one to purchase. I came across this machine and found it was similiar to the other but with more features. So I started reading reviews about it by people who purchased it. I could not find one bad review! That tells me all I need to know. If you’re considering this machine you can buy it with confidence. It is a fantastic sewing machine at a fantastic price!!!

I have done some very basic sewing in the past, but was asked to create some costume items for my husband, and decided that I needed something better than my little “Tiny Tailor” which is good for hemming cuffs and mending seams. I spent a week looking at various reviews and information, and while I was originally looking at the ‘little brother’ to this machine, the Brother 210-PRW, the 420 had such glowing reviews that I was truly torn.
I knew I wanted to invest in a good machine that was going to last me for a long while, especially if I really started getting into sewing, and so with my husband’s blessing, I took the plunge and paid $80 more for the 420. I needed it right away, and so as an Amazon Prime customer, I paid the extra $4 to get one day shipping. There was a notice that it might take an extra day or two processing, but after placing the order before noon on a Friday, I got a shipment notice that very afternoon, and FedEx brought it to my door a bit before 11 the following Monday (today).
After taking some time to read through the first couple sections of the manual, I was able to unpack the machine, plug it in, fill a bobbin with thread, load it, and thread the machine to start sewing. The automatic threader and the bobbin thread that is automatically pulled up made this machine a cinch to get started with. And then I sewed some simple seams. This machine is a dream! It’s very quiet compared to my memory of older machines, and the start/stop button and speed control make it a breeze, even when I’m just getting going and relearning the tricks of using a machine (which I hadn’t done in 10+ years).
I would highly recommend this machine to someone who is new to sewing, but really intends to get into it and wants a machine that will be fun and easy to use, as well as sturdy and capable of sewing through thicker fabrics and multiple layers (I’ve been sewing fake fur today). This machine comes with several types of presser feet, 4 bobbins, numerous accessories like a second spool pin and twin needle, an eyelet punch, two screwdrivers for changing presser feet and the plate, a cleaning tool with brush, and a hard shell cover.

I been sewing as long I can remember. I have 2 machines already a brother and a serger. This brought me to the 21st Century. I love the machine. Had it since 9/08 and have not stopped sewing(shirts, pants, suits, bags, etc.) even did some monograming for the first time on a few xmas gifts. Only thing I do not like was the zipper attachment not sturdy enough for me so I actually replaced it with the regular zipper foot I use on my other machine. But so far, definitely worth the money.
