I have a Girl Scout Troop and I teach my gs how to sew. I usually use Singer Vintage all Steel Machines that you can not hurt for anything. I have recently started letting them use my pacesetter and they love it. The bobbin has to be wound perfect. If your thread breaks, change the bobbin and needle-then it almost always works. Making your own bobbin usually works better than prewound. It has a self threader and auto tension which is wonderful. If you invest in the feet, then you have a machine that will last a long time. I have had mine 14 years and just retired and I am using it all the time. The only thing is-this machine does not have a USB port for embroidery. You need the card reader to convert to disk. It has a lot of designs built in though.. If you are just starting to learn or teaching someone, it has a slow speed that is so slow a 5 year old will eventually ask you to make it faster!! Good Luck!!Read full review

I actually really like this machine. I am giving it only 4 stars because it is so picky about bobbin thread. I am using a lingerie thread now and one that is prewound from babylock. They both are working fine. It sews beautifully and embroiders well. Little finicky about the backing too. However, I would recommend this machine for any small home business.
I wanted a larger embroidery machine. I also like the brothers machines, on the 8200 model the bobbin ajuster for the thread is broken and i will have to buy a reader/writter card Ped Basic to be able to us my patterns from my labtop. The machine was packed very well. The stiching is very pleaseing...
Nice machine with accessories. Was exactly as described. Works perfectly!
