I purchased the Brother SE-270D as a replacement sewing machine (I had worn out my other one). I wanted to start embroidering and mongraming, but sewing was my main function. I have LOVED playig with this. The only negative I would say is the auto threader, but if you buy the smaller spools it works fine. Mine is missing something that is supposed to allow you to use larger spools, so I have to improvise and it is a REAL PAIN. For a novice embroiderer I would say it is a good starter machine. The hoop size is only 4X4 which can be prohibitive, but for my use it is fine.Since I use it a LOT for clothing, I love the buttonholer and button features and the auto cutter is convenient.If you are mainly going to embroider, I wouldn't use this one as color changing is time consuming, invest in a multi color machine with a larger base for true embroidery.
Not reccomended, very disappointed. - Reviewed on 2009-02-21

I bought the Brother SE270D just under a year ago. I wanted to have a sewing machine for everyday projects, curtains, dolls clothes, hemming, mending and to have fun with embroidery. I never got to the embroidery because I never felt confident that it could operate well enough to handle embroidery.
Just plain sewing had tangling thread, fabric bunching, a selected stitch not performing (eg switching from straight to zig zag took a couple more tries before it would change even though the display showed a different stitch selected), awkward bobbin winding ( you have to be very careful with that) and it cannot handle thicker fabrics. I bound some small towels with cotton binding and it could barely manage to sew. The final straw was the auto needle threader failing. I took it to a Brother agent and was told nothing could be done about the auto threader and that in fact the machine has lots of problems and is a "load of crap". They had one mounted on the wall sectioned to show the inside and she explained that the construction of the machine made it difficult or impossible to repair if things go wrong. I am taking mine back to where I bought it and will get a full refund.

I have been using this machine for several years. It was my first time working with machine embroidery. It is easy to use, simple to understand, a great value, considering the price of other embroidery machines and gives near-perfect results almost every time. (Nothing's perfect!)Anyone who wants to get started in machine embroidery would do well with this machine.

The Amazon.com service on this order was excellent. However, shipment of this item was handled improperly. There were no "Fragile" markings or other special handling instructions on the package and it was loosely packed in newsprint. As a result, the machine arrived with a broken case and is completely inoperable. At this point I am awaiting disposition instructions from the seller. Return postage is to be paid by the seller.
Thank you, Amazon, for your immediate response and refund of purchase price.
