[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received thus product from Brothers in exchange for an honest review. This Brother's NS80E sewing machine is nothing like I've had before. It's so easy to set up and use (I searched how to do everything) and the updates is amazing. It's compact enough to bring with you to grandma's house. Definitely a must have for the stitching fanatic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Expressing my joy at using this sewing machine is hard to put into words. I learned to sew on a treadle sewing machine, (Non-electric) for those of you who don't know. So this machine is pure joy and practically runs itself!!! Definitely user-friendly and fun to learn.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the sewing machine free from Brothers in exchange for my honest opinion/review. This item is easy to use. The instruction book was helpful. The machine is efficient and handy in making pretty, delicate, tight stitching.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited to use this machine and see what awesome crafts I can create with it. It has a good variety of stitches that we make a beautiful hem. I set it up and threaded and it was very easy to thread the needle. It has a great option that let's you control the speed of the fabric threader. This will a machine that I can see me using for a lot of future projects.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this NS80E sewing machine free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion of the product. I must say that for someone new to sewing, this unit is a bit overwhelming, but in a good way. First off, I have "older" eyes, so the self threader is an amazing feature, and it worked every time. There are small diagrams right on the machine to show you which way to loop the thread which is really nice. This machine offers 80 different stitches which you can also customize in length and width. The stitch options are clearly displayed on the unit so I am not sure what the extra plate with the same diagram is for. Maybe just an option for better placement? There are so many different accessories that come with this machine, it may take some time for me to use them all. Oh so many different feet too (ZigZag, Overcast, Zipper, Button Hole, Monogram). Again, I am pretty new to sewing so I didn't realize you needed a different foot for each task. They are pretty easy to switch out though. There's also a handy little compartment right in the front of the machine to store all these accessories which is pretty convenient. This machine is fairly lightweight and the handle makes for easy transport. I am pretty excited about getting to use the double needle - I will be able to get creative and use two different colored threads in my crafting projects. So far I have only tried about a dozen or so of the stitches, and I had no difficultly with the machine at all. I did hem up some fairly thick and quilted winter pants and the needle went through it as though it was single layer fabric. I thought for sure it would jam up or something, but it didn't. Using this machine has been a breeze, and I look forward to using all the bells and whistles on this machine as I learn more. I did a quick internet search, and there are also many tutorials already online showing different techniques. Sometimes seeing a video of what I want to accomplish is easier than reading a manual. I feel this machine a is great investment as it gives a novice room to grow without having to upgrade after mastering the simple skills.
