I have a Brother embroidery machine and love it, so after shopping several sewing shops and retailers, decided to order the Brother online. I couldn't beat the price or reviews. The reviews are right. It arrives threaded w/ color thread to show you how to thread it. I re-threaded the machine and it worked perfect first time. Very easy to thread. I have used it now for a few weeks and my projects look so much more professional! Just love it!
