I have used this machine twice and the "lower pressure foot" keeps coming up in the window and the pressure foot is down. BROTHER'S ANSWER TO MY PROBLEM? Get it serviced. Stay away from anything with the Brothers name on it!

I purchased this machine 3 1/2 years ago. I have never had a problem with it, and I use it at least weekly. My daughter was expecting our 1st grandchild when I got it, and now we are expecting our 3rd and 4th. Needless to say I have been sewing baby clothes and embroidering onesies,bibs,blankets,etc. like a fiend. I like the cassettes, and pre-load them with the different threads for embroidery. I purchased 3 extra when I bought the machine. To me, this has been the most funI have ever had sewing, and it inspires me all the time to do more!

I purchased my embroidery (Brother SE-270D) machine on the 12th of December in 2004 and gave gifts for Christmas made with it that year. I took it out of the box and began to sew. The instructions were clear and easy to understand and with supervision my kids have learned to use it too. I have many disks of designs that I use with a blank memory card through a gadget called an amazing box. I have also purchased cards from brother. I have worn out my medium hoop but happily admit about 1,000 successful uses before it wore out

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.

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.
