The same here except my little machine is closer to 10 years old. I have no complaints other than the small throat and also have a Brother 1500. My little machine will sew anything --- even reflective tape on miner's bibs.
It sounds like there is just a problem with yours. Don't write off all the inexpensive Brothers because of one lemon.
