What Model Brother Sewing Machine You Own/Owned?

Pacesetter NX 400

How you obtained the machine? (gift, bought new, etc)

bought new

Approximate age of the machine

about 6 years?

Approximate price paid for this machine?

$400.00

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

clothing, some beginners quilting and home decor.

What is your satisfaction level with this machine?

Fair - I love the needle threader, and the number of stitches is just about right for what I need.

I dislike the that the bobbin frequently jams, and that the dealer went out of business soon after I purchased the machine so I was never able to use the "free lessons" - not that I felt I needed them. Also now the nearest dealer is a 30 minute drive away.

Advice

  • I'm not sure if I would buy this again. I'd like to check out machines at a exhibition and would like to find one that has a local dealer. You do need some one who can help you when you have trouble.
