Don't buy this machine!,

This review is from: Brother LB6800PRW Project Runway Computerized Embroidery and Sewing Machine (Kitchen)
I thought I had done my research on this machine but man was I wrong! After I had purchased this machine, I read that there is NO DIFFERENCE between this one and the SE 400 which you can buy for a full one hundred dollars less! The SE 400 is 369.00 right now on Amazon.com. Oh yes, there is a difference, you have the name project runway on your sewing machine and you get the little bag to cart your sewing machine around in. For that, you pay an extra 100 bucks! I never had any intention of using the bag, I would be embarrassed to cart around my sewing machine in a P.R. bag, I bought this one because I was told it was recommended by consumer reports so I looked no further. Don't get me wrong, this machine does what it says and is fun but the hoop is small and you have to buy larger hoops to use the larger designs. I could have spent that extra 100 on larger hoops or the embroidery thread you have to buy. Know also that the thread for an embroidery machine is very expensive. As are the...Read more

I was going to get a regular sewing machine, but it was only about $50 extra for one that could also do embroidery. The machine I decided to get was the Brother LB6800PRW. This is exactly the same as the SE-400, except it comes with a carry-cart for portability, and has some 'project runway' branding on it. Both have a 100mm by 100mm embroidery field (4 inches by 4 inches, though the hoop looks bigger in pictures). The LB6800PRW was only a few dollars more than the SE-400 when I purchased it, and the bag that comes with the LB6800PRW will at least keep the dust off the machine once I get bored with it. Both the SE-400 and this one have 512k of memory that can be accessed though USB, so you can make and load embroidery patterns from a computer. I don't understand why that is even optional, all embroidery machines should allow USB connectivity, there is more than just letters to embroider. Software to make your own embroidery is another matter, as nothing comes with the machine for...Read more

Love this machine,

The LB6800 is a lovely machine with computer connectivity so you can download free embroidery designs from the internet.As a 'Project Runway' model it seems a little bit better made than a model made especially for the 'big box' stores. It sews and embroiders very well but I had problems at first with old and non branded threads. However, having bought Robison Anton threads and Madeira threads I have embroidered a few items for my grandchildren and they were beautiful. I have since made some curtains with heavy duty fabric with a velvet insert. The machine sews well over double and triple thickness quietly and smoothly without the 'clunking' sound my previous model made. It has so many features it may take a while to learn them all but I really love this machine. It also comes with an attractive rolling cart for taking the machine to classes which will protect it and the embroidery unit from knocks and scrapes. All in all I am very happy I bought this machine.
