Brother LB6770PRW Project Runway Sewing-and-Embroidery Machine Review

Brother LB6770PRW Project Runway Sewing-and-Embroidery Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After reviewing the instruction book, I found this machine very easy to use, quiet and really great in the way it performed. All sewing stitches are very easy to access at the touch of your finger and easy adjustments can be made during the sewing process. The embroidery part of this machine (the real reason I bought it) works very easily, also. I would recommend this machine for it's price, ease of use and compact design. The additional software was too expensive but contains some nice designs. I don't know if I would buy the software right away, maybe after I got to be more expert in the embroidery part of the machine. Still, all in all, a great buy.

I bought this at target during thanksgiving 2010 for $59.99. I had my friend try out as she is more experienced in sewing. She said this was a good basic machine for my purposes which would be simple projects not requiring any fancy stitches.It has all the basic stitces and a zipper foot, a buttonhole foot, darning plate etc.
I tried out all the stitches and the stitch quality is good so far. I am going to keep this one.
If anything goes wrong I will post a review!

Portable Mini 2-speed Sewing Machine with 100 Piece Kit Review

This is a great sewing machine which was surprising considering how mini the thing is. I would say its a good purchase for a beginner (gift idea for children?) or for someone with sewing experience that needs something portable (battery operated).
The only negative thing I can say is that it won't do really thick materials because it won't fit under the arm. But since I didn't expect that considering the cost, I won't let it affect the 5-star rating.

I didn't want an expensive sewing machine. I just wanted to hem my boy's pants which are always too long, and it works for that. The instructions are pretty bad but with a little help from Youtube I figured it out. I was able to rethread the bobbins and use the thread I had without any problem. I think if I, who has never used a sewing machine in his life can figure it out, just about anybody can.

I ordered a sewing cabinet on Nov. 25 with a 4 - 6 week shipping date. After weeks of not getting a tracking number I e mailed the merchant (Ken's sewing Center) asking for one and that is when he told me the orders weren't being shipped on time. He said that it would be mailed out between Dec.31 and Jan. 4. I said that was fine. After not hearing from him I assumed it had been shipped out already and wanted a tracking number. That is when he told me he thinks it's being mailed out today (Jan.26) but, without giving me a tracking number...again. Why was I not notified Jan. 4 when the order wasn't shipped out as promised? Really good question, right? I canceled the order and I'm now disputing the credit card charges. BUYER BEWARE. This merchant is shady. Run don't walk.

I bought this cabinet about 5 years ago. I have really enjoyed using it and it is still like new. I have more than one sewing machine, so I decided to buy another. It is a great cabinet for the money. It takes a 2-3 hours to assemble. The instructions are fairly clear. I made one mistake assembling it, by installing the bottom shelf with the unfinished edge "showing". When the cabinet is closed, you cannot see that, so I'm leaving as is, rather than disassembling it. All the parts required, were included. The box was clearly marked "fragile, do not drop", so all components were in good condition.

Delivery was quick, and the cabinet is beautiful and compact, I love the style of it too. I took away a star for the poor instructions for putting it together. The drawings are off and the photos are grainy and hard to see. It took a long time to put this thing together, fortunately in the end it was worth it. Very stylish for a sewing cabinet.
