Customer Reviews
- Don't let the low price fool you. This is a great machine!
This is the machine that some of the larger sewing and quilting expos are using in their workshops now because they are so lightweight, easy to learn, and reliable. High end Berninas and Vikings are just too complicated for people to sit down and learn at in a classroom setting, and they are way too expensive. This machine is the Featherweight of the 21st century, with tons of stitches and fun built in. Go for it!!!

- Purchased for non-sewing daughter,
I bought this machine because of the many good reviews, and because a hard case/cover was included. The case is more cover than case, as the machine is not enclosed by the cover, and the cover has no handle, just a hole in the back where you can stick your hand in to carry the machine, much like carrying a cube of soda cans. The machine can be carried in this fashion because it is incredibly light.

- Easy to use

I bought this machine for Christmas and have sewn on it just a few times so far. I thought it might be complicated, but it is so very easy to use. I chose Brother Xl 5340 Sewing Machine because of the reviews and I'm glad I did. It's lightweight enought that I can take it to beginner quilting classes. It came with so many "optional" parts, I am just real satisfied so far. It's quite and so easy to understand the computerized stich screen. It tells you how to do everything when you change stiches!!! You will be very satisfied.
