5.0 out of 5 stars so far, quite an impressive machine, November 17, 2008

By 

third time mom (Naperville, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Brother PC-210 PRW Limited Edition Project Runway Sewing Machine (Kitchen)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars What and amazing FIND!, September 25, 2010

Marte "oilpaintingnana" (Along the Beautiful Ohio River) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Brother PC-210 PRW Limited Edition Project Runway Sewing Machine (Kitchen)

I have been using my Touch and Sew for forty years to make baby-children clothes, drapes, coats, Halloween costumes, you name it - struggling year in and year out with broken needles and jammed bobbins. What a quantum leap it has been to enter the market for a new sewing machine...The old zigzag idea has segued into the 21st century with a new face and awesome variations, all computerized and automatic.

After surveying the marketplace, looking at Singers, Vikings, Janomes, etc., I finally went into the Brother dealer who demonstrated the smooth Innovis-40 PRW. I loved it, but continued on my search, only to discover the PC-210 PRW. It is 5 pounds heavier, has a stronger motor at .7AMPS, more "extras" and especially more room ( 2 inches more) under the opening where I must reach to lift the Presser foot. I decided two weeks ago to buy that machine, the PC-210 PRW, from Amazon. I did not need all the extra stitches for embroidery that the PC-420 provides for $100.00 more.

The machine performs flawlessly. It is quiet and precise. Amazingly, the Presser foot moves with the contour of the fabric being sewn. I witnessed the PC-210 PRW sew through several layers of leather. I have sewn easily through four layers of quilted fabric. I love the speed control of the PC-210 PRW, while sewing with my 7 yr. old granddaughter. Threading is exceptionally simple and the automatic threader works every time. The bobbin is threaded with minimal effort and the bobbin thread is automatically drawn into the stitch when sewing begins. The automatic needle up ( or down) feature is convenient for turning corners and the reverse button ties the stitching row off easily. There is no need to ever turn the wheel to position the needle. This machine is jamb proof: it will give an error message if something is not done in the proper sequence or if the presser foot must first be lifted, etc..

The Brother PC-210 PRW makes great buttonholes; there is a special buttonhole foot in which you place your button. It uses that button to automatically make the proper sized buttonhole in one step.

I have used the front stop/go control, rather than the foot pedal to try it out. It does just fine, even though I prefer, from habit, to use the foot pedal. The PC-210 PRW will automatically set the stitch length/width, although I found the default for most stitches to be satisfactory.

I am discovering the fun of the embroidery stitches, however I do not generally need these options. I love the built-in foot holder located in the front of the machine. This compartment has molded slots for all the feet included with the PC-210 PRW. It comes with a seven useful feet. Kept in that handy compartment are many of the accessories, i.e., extra needles, bobbins, seam ripper, etc.

I am especially happy with the hard cover and the sturdiness of this machine. It is AWESOME to have all this precision at my fingertips. I have had no problems getting started, as the manual is very explanatory and explicit! I expect no problems down the road. Thank you Brother and Thank you Amazon!

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.
