(More customer reviews)
I bought this at target during thanksgiving 2010 for $59.99. I had my friend try out as she is more experienced in sewing. She said this was a good basic machine for my purposes which would be simple projects not requiring any fancy stitches.It has all the basic stitces and a zipper foot, a buttonhole foot, darning plate etc.
I tried out all the stitches and the stitch quality is good so far. I am going to keep this one.
If anything goes wrong I will post a review!

Delivery was quick, and the cabinet is beautiful and compact, I love the style of it too. I took away a star for the poor instructions for putting it together. The drawings are off and the photos are grainy and hard to see. It took a long time to put this thing together, fortunately in the end it was worth it. Very stylish for a sewing cabinet.

Brother LB6770PRW Project Runway Sewing-and-Embroidery Machine Review

After reviewing the instruction book, I found this machine very easy to use, quiet and really great in the way it performed. All sewing stitches are very easy to access at the touch of your finger and easy adjustments can be made during the sewing process. The embroidery part of this machine (the real reason I bought it) works very easily, also. I would recommend this machine for it's price, ease of use and compact design. The additional software was too expensive but contains some nice designs. I don't know if I would buy the software right away, maybe after I got to be more expert in the embroidery part of the machine. Still, all in all, a great buy.
