I'm sorry to hear your friend had such a hard time with her machine. It must have been a Monday/Friday machine.
I have a Brother 1500 that I love. I can't tell you how how much it hurt to have someone "trash" my machine before I even had a chance to use it. But I tell you, it's been the best machine ever. And it's with that story that I learned not to ick someone else's woo.
Did your friend ever take it back to the dealership where she got it from to find out what could be wrong with it? I hope it's all better now.
AMEN to that. I also have a Brother 1500 and read many reviews some good some not so good, but I have had a cheapo brother for several years and NEVER had a problem out of it. So I chose to buy another brother. I have not had a problem out of it either despite problems that others have had. Its like buying a car, some like Ford, some like Dodge, others Chevy, some even prefer foreign models. lol But in reality someone has had a problem with EVERY make!
