- 165 total stitches (110 unique plus 55 alphanumeric)
- LCD display for stitch selection
- Wide table plus 8 included presser feet
- 8 styles of one-step auto-size buttonholes
Who it's for
Works well for beginners and returning sewists who want an LCD-guided machine with a wide table for quilting without a steep learning curve. Advanced sewists doing heavier construction, like bag making with thick layered seams, may find it underpowered.
Pros and cons
- LCD makes stitch selection and settings clear
- Wide table helps with larger quilting projects
- Automatic needle threader plus drop-in bobbin
- Comes with a protective hard case and 8 feet
- Struggles on thick, multi-layer seams
- Feature set feels basic for advanced sewing
Performance notes
The LCD display walks stitch selection and settings with button presses rather than a mechanical dial, and the auto-size buttonholes complete in one step across 8 different styles. The included wide table extends the sewing surface for handling larger quilts, and the automatic needle threader plus drop-in top bobbin carry over from Brother's simpler machines to keep setup quick.
