I am sorry to say I would not buy a brother again. I know some people have them, have no trouble at all with them, and love them. I might to except I bought one for my daughter several years ago. Long story short- after exchanging the machine 3 times. finally just got my money back Three yeas ago other daughter, lives out of sate went through the same thing only this time it took her going through 4 returned and replaced machines before she learned her lesson. These machines did come from big box stores. Another reason I only buy from dealers.
