Brother SE350 Computerized Embroidery-and-Sewing Machine

Brother SE350 Computerized Embroidery-and-Sewing Machine Review

4.5 from 5

I have three other sewing machines, but wanted to get a machine that embroiders. Something with all the basic sewing stitches so I don't need to switch back & forth. I did a lot of research and was leaning towards Singer because of an infomercial (Futura or the SES1000), but since I already have two Brother machines that are great workhorses, I went with the SE350.
RECOMMENDATION: When you get your machine, spend a couple hours reading the manual, watching the DVD, trying the different stitch options, do some test embroidery, etc. Even though I have Brother machines, this one threads a bit differently and I could see someone who tries to plug & go getting frustrated.
I love the bells & whistles that are new to me because I've been using a 29 year old machine until now. The auto thread cutter is great (press a button and it cuts the thread when you're done sewing). The start/stop button was a breeze to learn (no need to use a foot pedal, although one is included if you want to). The LCD touch screen is WONDERFUL. No more messing with stitch width/length dials to figure out the best stitch. This machine has them programmed in and you only need to make changes if you want to tweak something. Embroidery is surprisingly easy. Just be sure to use stabilizer and good thread.
I bought mine on Overstock - they have them refurbished for 9, with the same warranty, and shipping is only .95 (but you can sometimes get a free shipping coupon off the internet). With the money I saved, I'm buying the PED Basic software from Amazon that will let me download more embroidery designs.
All in all, this is a great machine and I'm looking forward to creating lots of beautiful new projects.
