Buying Brother PC-210
PRW Limited Edition Project Runway Sewing Machine
so
far, quite an impressive machine
I
bought this machine a couple of weeks ago. It is an upgrade for me from
a VERY basic Brother machine. I bought mine at a sewing machine store;
actually cheaper than Amazon and I get their expertise/service.
One major feature I was looking for in my new machine is speed
control. I am teaching my daughter to sew; this machine can be set to
sew very very ssssslllloooww. Great when trying to teach a nine year
old. Threading is pretty simple; there is a nifty automatic needle
threader. I'm using it but threading a machine needle was never a big
deal for me. I also like the automatic needle up feature. On every
machine I ever used previously, I had to turn the wheel when done sewing
a line to raise the needle. This machine does it automatically.
This Brother makes a very nice buttonhole; not as nice perhaps as a
machine twice its price but still, just fine. It has this neat
buttonhole foot in which you put your desired button in the back and it
uses that button to automatically make the proper sized buttonhole. All
in one step. This is WAY better than my old machine.
The bobbin is a top-drop-in. No more bringing up the loop, just put
in in and sew.
One feature I've yet to use is a front stop/go control button. I
guess that if you didn't want to or couldn't use a foot pedal you could
use this button instead. I can see it being nice for buttonholes; you
just position your fabric, push the "go" button, and it makes all the
side of the buttonhole and stops automatically.
This machine trys to make things oops-proof. If you've ever jambed
your machine because you started sewing with the presser foot up, well,
that can't happen with this machine. If things aren't "right", it will
give you an error beep.
Another nice feature is that the machine automatically sets an
"ideal" stitch length/width. You can overide it but for the most part,
the defalt is perfect, especially with the decorative stitches.
There are several decorative stiches; I haven't quite figured out
the best way to put them to use but that's just my own lack of
creativity.
One last nice feature is a built-in foot holder. In front of the
free-arm is a flip-down compartment that has molded, labeled spots for
all your feet. It comes with a standard foot, zipper foot, blind hem
stitch foot, decorative stitching foot, overlock foot, button attacher
foot, and buttonhole foot. Also in the compartment is a molded space
for a seam ripper and 4 bobbins (included). I've found it nice to have
all these feet in one spot. I have a couple specialty feet from my old
Brother machine and they fit and work just fine on my new one. An added
plus.
One note; this machine takes bobbins that are a bit thicker than
older ones. Buy a bunch of new ones; they say old ones won't work.
All in all, I'm very happy. I'm glad I went with this model and
would buy again.
***edited to add: my one gripe about this machine is that the built
in lights are lacking. My old machine put out quite a lot of light;
this one is MUCH dimmer.

Better
than anything for the price
I
shopped extensively before buying this machine, including reading
reviews, asking folks and trying them at the shop. This machine is
great. VERY easy to use, good manual, solid and attractive. So far
everything I've tried has been easy and flawless. It quite literally
makes sewing easier.
