Review: It is a workhorse of a machine - If you are looking for a workhorse, simple to use machine, this is the machine for you!! I own 4 Computerized Brother Sewing and Embroidery machines. This one sews over many layers with seams without bogging down and breaking needles. The Stitch quality is beautiful. I do all kinds of sewing and appliqueing. It was simple to set up and directions are very clear to understand. I may have left another review but had to tell you, if you want simple that does the job, get this machine.
Review: Easy to use - I am a beginner and this was the perfect machine for me. The projects are endless with this machine. So far I have made winter hats, bags pouches, tissue holders, hemmed pants, shortened sleeves on shirts and made pouches to organize my cargo pants pockets. I have had zero issues. It makes me wonder why I did not buy a sewing machine 20 years ago. Highly recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I know it is considered heavy duty, but will this machine also be good for light weight and delicate sewing?**
A: I used it  to make my granddaughter two skirts and a kimono out of fine tulle and it sewed beautifully with no problems, also dance costumes of fine tulle and silky appliqués on same.  It’s a dream to sew with.

**Q: Can this machine really sew through many layers of denim**
A: I've only had this machine a little over a week, so had not tried to hem jeans until just now.  The machine sewed through 6 layers of heavy denim and did a good job - I've never had a machine that would do that before!  So far, I REALLY love this machine, as it's pretty straightforward to learn how to use.  The only thing I've had trouble with is making buttonholes, but I haven't spent much time at it yet!

**Q: Does it have extra high presser foot lift capability?**
A: Yes it does.

**Q: I like to know if you can drop the feed dogs on the Brothers tough and sew machine so I can do free motion quilting**
A: Yes, you can.  Open the front storage area where you'll find the feed dog lever.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Machine
*by C***E on March 31, 2019*

I have been a seamstress all my life and at 70 I thought I knew about sewing machines. I have used a Bernina, which I felt was too fussy for me, and switched to Brother when I bought my first Serger. Besides the quality of Brother machines, I feel they are a great company that backs their products. With my Brother machines, I have made more than 40 Renaissance Court costumes, including King and Queen costumes. Now that I am a grandma (Meemo) I have started making doll clothes. I have had a computerized Brother for the last four years but because I am now planning on making covers for an outdoor lawn swing and patio chairs, I decided to get the Brother Strong and Tough to use with the heavyweight fabrics that will be necessary for those projects. Once I had this machine out of its box, it was set up in minutes. The stitches are nice and even and it is easy to adjust the tension and type of stitches. I have used it now on faile and dotted swiss while making dresses for my granddaughters' dolls and I have had my seven-year-old granddaughter using the machine as I teach her sewing. I had bought her a lightweight Brother as a birthday present but I think I am going to get one of these for her instead. It is a much better machine. I have stored my computerized machine to make room for this one on my sewing table. I find now that after all these years, I prefer the mechanical machine to the computerized ones. What a revelation! All the extra stitches on my computerized machine go to waste as any embroidery that needs to be done I do by hand. Always have. Always will. I appreciate that this machine has a rubber base to keep it from moving while I sew. I appreciate that none of the stitches skip and that it is easy to start sewing at the edge of the fabric without having to hold the threads in the back to keep the stitches from bunching. I like that the presser foot has an extra height adjustment to use on thick fabrics, something I will be needing when I make the lawn swing seats. There a couple of things I miss from my old machine but will adjust to quickly. The "down needle" button for pivoting fabric. The longer cord on the pedal foot which I could drop behind my table top instead of draping forward across the table. The quieter running motor, so I can sew at night without waking my grandkids and their parents up. These are all minor issues though in exchange for a really good machine that I expect will be the last one I get. All of the machine feet I have for my old Brother fit this machine as well, but the bobbins are a slightly different size and not interchangeable. It comes with four bobbins, and I had purchased more bobbins for my granddaughters' other machine that fit this machine just fine. AND it came with a Teflon foot which will come in handy on many of the fabrics I use for the doll clothes. I am a very satisfied customer. Thank you Brother for continuing to make such great products.
