Brother PC-420 PRW Sewing Machine
|
I did my research for buying a new sewing machine over several years….When my old Necchi showed signs of imminent demise I chose the Brother PC-420 PRW as having the features I wanted most for the amount of money I had to spend.
This machine does not disappoint!! I love the self-threading feature and the top-and-bottom auto thread cutting. After a little time spent with the exceptionally thorough manual I was able to try different stitches–my first project just happened to include free-motion quilting with nylon thread and I had no problems at all.
I have two minor complaints….the monogram feature produces such small letters as to be useless for anything other than hankerchiefs, which saddened me. And the machine does not have enough interior light for my aging eyes.
Looking forward to trying out more stitches and feet, I quickly realized that this machine had all of the features of older, mechanical machines but with about a hundred times more ease and accuracy–PLUS the features I mentioned above! I prefer using the foot pedal, but I have options to use the knee control or even the button on the machine itself….which opens up a lot of possibilities I never had on my older machines!
