Brother Disney SE-270D Sewing and embroidery
I don't remember if I answered before; I don't think I did, so here goes.
I bought one 2 years ago and while I haven't used it a lot, I find it to be adequate for what I need (quilt labels and such). I bought mine off ebay too, and received with it around 40 spools of polyester embroidery thread and PED-Basic software, which you will need in order to be able to download different designs from the Internet and load them onto the card that comes with the machine. I don't remember if it came in the box with the machine or separately. There are a LOT of free designs on the web. I haven't had to buy any yet. The embroidery quality is good, but not fantastic -- not commercial-looking by any means. A lot depends on how much care you take when putting your fabric in the hoop. I haven't done any of the built-in designs, so I don't know how good they are, but the built-in stitches are pretty good, and there are a lot of them. You will need to use stabilizer; I use the iron-on, tear-away stuff. Things I don't like: the area around the needle seems crowded (small) to me, but that could be just because I use my Juki TL98Q 95% of the time. Also, there is no thread tension adjustment, which I thought was pretty weird. It hasn't needed adjusting, but that's besides the point. The thread cartridge system can be a pain, but it does thread the needle automatically, which is good because, again, there isn't a lot of room down there. I also wish it came with a walking foot. I don't know if I will use it All in all, it is good enough for what I do with it. If I was going to do a *lot* of embroidery or fancy stitches, or if I was going to use just one machine for everything, it wouldn't be this one. -- Valerie in FL My quilts: http://community.webshots.com/user/vjkahler "Jacqueline in KY" quilter at mountain-breeze dot com wrote in message ... I posted this to another topic the one two items I would really like to have and only got one response. May be only one knows about this machine. I would love to hear what others have to say about it and also where I can get the thread for it, etc. I am at a lost as to the thread and stuff. I found a brother Disney embroidery machine on ebay at a reasonable price, new, with warranty and all and I bought it. I hope it is a decent machine, I do know that you can only do 4" embroidery or smaller but I can't see me needing much more than that and to see if I even like it, well, I can't beat the price. Anyone out there got one of these it is the Brother Disney SE-270D Sewing and embroidery machine? Thanks so much for those that answer or did answer the first time. Jacqueline in KY |
