I do own a brother machine but nothing as fantastic as the new you bought your wife. My advise keep the handbook with you at all times even if you go to a class. Keep it clean. Just look at the build up after a day. I would also search for either online utubes or classes on the machine or local classes. An expert showing you how. Many fantastic things it can do. Find a local dealer incase it goes wrong or do you know some wonderful person who can repair.
