This machine is very user friendly. The first day I got it I began using it as if I am an expert. I love my Brother sewing machine, it has many built in stiches and many sewing foot options. This machine really takes the chore out of sewing. from Overstock.com I love the different stitches that I have to choose from. I do alot of scrapbooking and I stitch my photo mats. With Brother, I am doing it with ease. I can not say enough about the Brother XL-2230. from Overstock.com The Brother sewing machine was intimidating at first glance, but it all came back to me after I wound the bobbin. The manual and pictograms on the machine made things easy to use and understand. from Amazon.com I would recomend this machine for anyone starting out or a seasoned sewer. It replaces my old dressmaker machine that is very heavy, and shakes the table. The new Brother machine is quiet and doesn't shake the table. Very easy to thread and has a automatic needle threader. from Amazon.com it is a good machine, much lighter then I expected in weight, it is easy movable from place to place. I had a lot of experience in sewing, so I did not have any trouble to figure out how it works, good purchace for occasional household use or for beginners[ASIN:B00016OYKA Brother XL2230 31-Stitch Function Free-Arm Sewing Machine With 11 Built-In Stitches]] from Amazon.com Way to go Amazon! Upon opening the package, I found that the the main Zig Zag foot was missing. I contacted Brother Customer service via web since no phone number was included. A day later, I recieved an auto email with a phone number and called it. from Amazon.com It is simple to use and produces a great product. I use mine almost everyday and have had no problems whatsoever! Brother is an excellent brand. from Amazon.com Right out of the box, the machine was missing the zigzag presser foot. I called Brother and they said I had to contact the retailer. When I finally got the foot, the machine was inoperable. from Amazon.com I am very pleased with this machine. Easy to use, sews a variety of fabrics. I previously had a Brother machine that finally bit the dust after 26 years so I am hoping for comparable longevity. from Amazon.com I replaced my Singer with this machine and I am more than happy with it. The Singer machine caused me problems from day one on. Contrary to the Singer the Brother machine is quiter, doesn't let the table vibrate and doesn't tangle up the stiches like my Singer does. I already made a couple of outfits for myself and it worked like a charm. from Amazon.com
