Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brother SE350 Computerized Embroidery-and-Sewing Machine
Customer Review: A great Beginner Machine
Summary: 4 Stars
I give this machine 5 stars for ease of use, and 3 stars for the area where brother "fell down" on the job.
This machine comes with everything you need to begin sewing except the cloth ... including a spool of thread, bobbins, even a pair of sewing scissors! The CD that came with it was very helpful, and since my other machine was much older (and only sewed basic stitches), I was glad I watched it.
I started with a "test" piece of fabric, and was impressed at how easy it was to switch between stitches and to do some "fancywork" right out of the box. I have since moved on to making a quilt, and I have come to love the button instead of the old fashioned foot pedal (that also comes included). The needle up/down and the cut buttons are a great added touch.
While Brother Advertises this machine as having 70 patterns, 26 of them are letters of the Alphabet. However, the patterns are generic enough to be useful for a beginner.
The downside:
The additional embroidery patterns come on a "unique" card - and they are quite pricey. They do have a card writer Brother PED-Basic Software for Downloading Embroidery Designs with software that you can use to download your own. It is the only way to transfer new files (available on the internet) to the sewing machine. Given today's technology, brother could have used any of the flash cards or usb port to do the same thing. (Brother does have USB ports in their more expensive sewing machines) So, when figuring the cost of this machine, you need to include this item if you want to expand your embroidery content.
I suggest that if you are into embroidery, the Brother PE700II Embroidery Machine with USB Port may be a better buy long-term ... even though it is more costly. It offers both a USB port and a 5x7 embroidery area.
However, as a "normal sewer" who wants to move back and forth between both, this is a wonderful machine for the price.
EDIT - One other review stated that he/she was disappointed in the ability to do fonts. While there are basic fonts included on the brother, there are a number of pes files with much larger fonts that work well with the machine that are available both free (online) and at a cost - up to 4" per letter. I have used them to decorate clothing for my granddaughter.
