Sewed on the machine. It was confusing at first because it starts with a twin needle set up. I wound bobbins, threaded it, used the auto lock stitch and auto thread cutter. I have to remember this is a fashion machine so the 1/4 inch seam is not that easy to get with the feet provided. I have a Janome and all the feet fit the Brother so I'll try the 1/4 foot. I bought it for a portable machine for paperpiecing using the auto thread cutter so I am pleased. I like the auto thread lock stitch too. I haven't tried any of the decorative stitches.
