"Roll-hem presser foot" 2010-07-03
By C Burgess
Works great with my Babylock DenimPro (circa 1994?), on several fabrics (even flannel) and using zig-zag. Didn't work on straight stitch since I can't position the needle on my machine to far left or far right, center only, which causes the stitch to miss the roll entirely -- but that's a problem with my machine, not the foot.Delivery was lightning fast, and the product was exactly as advertised. Thanks!

  
"Great Foot - Makes Great Hems and Great Price" 2010-05-22
By K. Brown
I bought this distinctive hem foot after purchasing their 1/4" foot. It is a great fit for my machine and is just what I was looking for. I wanted to make small precise hems and this foot delivers. Works amazing with my lightweight fabrics on a short straight stitch. Great buy too, couldn't find it anywhere else that could even come close to the price.

  
"too small to be practical!" 2010-05-19
By K. Chmiel (philadelphia, pa)
I bought this (and the brother narrow hem foot which is the same thing so stay away from that too imo)and tried to use it on anything. It will only work on lightweight fabrics and even then the stitching is hard to look uniform. The stitches look wonky and the hem is incredibly small (5mm or less). I decided to just go for it and get the "distinctive" rolled hem foot set which has seven different and USEFUL sized hems (like 1/4" and 5/8", etc.)and give you a chance to keep those hems clean and professional looking. It is $50 for the set, but i am so much happier to have hemming feet that actually work!

  
"A great fit for my Brother sewing machine!" 2010-03-25
By J. Kirby (Mountain States)
Yay! These are a little hard to find retail. It fits and works great on my Brother SR-65 machine. Plus, it was delivered with AMAZING speed!! I had a project waiting on the delivery and it was even faster than I would have dared hope!

"Nice basic carry case" 2010-04-09

This carry case does what you want: it keeps your machine dust free, and the cords and peddle tuck in no problem. It makes it easy to store your machine in a closet when its not in use. It's light weight and easy to carry to sewing classes/groups.

"Good case for Singer 7470 Sewing Machine" 2010-02-09
By T. Mok (NJ, United States)
I bought this for my Singer 7470 sewing machine. It fits, with room to spare. This particular model of sewing machine has a heavy base, so normally, the machine wouldn't move around inside the case. I use mine as a storage case, rather than a transport case. So, I don't travel with it that much. For me, this case is good.Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the seller was Target, which charged for tax and shipping. I could have picked this up from my local Target, and saved on shipping. Oh well. Live and learn.

  
"Universal carrying case - too big" 2010-02-08
By M. Mitchell (So. Cal.)
Very cheap looking. The sewing machine fits inside but the case is too big so must stuff rags to keep machine from moving around. I liked the "old fashioned" case that fit the sewing machine perfectly. Could not return the case since shipping was too expensive. Had I purchased @ Target (rather than thru Amazon), I could have returned it.

  
"hard carrying case not necessary" 2010-01-30
By Winston's Person
We got this carrying case to go with the sewing machine we got for our daughter for Christmas. What we didn't realize when we ordered it was that the sewing machine came with it's own soft-sided cover. The soft-sided cover has a hole in it so that you can still use the handle on the top of the machine to easily transport it. We decided not to give the hard carrying case to her because it would just be added bulk for her to deal with. Had to pay return shipping fees which would have equaled the price of the case so we decided to keep it. Will likely donate it somewhere.

"STAY AWAY FROM THIS MACHINE" 2010-04-12
By Michele (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
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 have loved this machine!" 2009-11-30
By P. Osborne (central florida)
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!

  
"Gotta Get One" 2009-11-15
By Judith M. Greer (Sunny Sebastian Florida)
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

  
"Brother se-270D awesome" 2009-03-05
By V. Davis
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." 2009-02-21
By Jane by the Sea (Oregon)
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.
