What type of sewing you did/do with this machine?

I use this machine mainly for embroidery, but also use the larger sewing stitches for quilting.

What is your satisfaction level with this machine?

I am extremely satisfied with all aspects of this machine. This machine is fantastic. It automatically threads itself; cuts jump stitches within a color; cuts thread at end of thread color. Designs are easily transferred through USB port via memory stick or directly from your computer or via Brother memory card. Editing capability after design transfer are numerous--rotate by 1 degree increments; enlarge; reduce; mirror image; change colors; merge with other designs; change density (for alphabets and frames). Sews up to 1000 stitches per minute, but can be adjusted to slower speeds. Has automatic tension, but is easy to adjust. The regular sewing stitches are all adjustable. Many are suitable for quilting.
