I have had this machine now for only a week and I have had a blast so far. I made my grand daughter a costume for a play and used the PE 770 to embellish the costume. This machine is easy to learn, easy to use and does a perfect job every time.
I will say, at first I had trouble with tread breaking both needle thread and bobbin thread. In each of these occasions, the problem was my having rushed through the threading. Once I fixed the operator dysfunction (me being the operator) the machine was perfect.
I have a Brother serger that impressed me so much that buying a brother embroidery machine seemed the right purchase and turns out it was indeed. I also have a Viking machine, when it needs replacing I will go with a Brother, I've sewn for over 40 years and I was a brand snob till I tried Brother.
Getting everything you need in this bundle, wow, this is Value for your money. I looked everywhere, This Is The Deal if this is the machine you're shopping for. Dealer had this machine in my anxious hands in no time.
