Has anyone had a problem with Brother embroidery machines?

My Brother machine HATES Sulky, LOL. It seems to jump all over the place. Have had mixed results with the Gutierman. I do best with Admelody and Robison Anton.
I consider my Sulky collection a wall decoration. :)

I order Admelody from www.bfc-stash.com
jhittlesewing has great prices on RA but you have to get packages of 3 spools per color.
shoppersrule has some ok prices on RA as well
I have a couple of spools of Coats and Clark that my machine likes much better than the Sulky, even. Go figure!

Maybe buy a spool of a couple of their brands. I'm no JoAnn's snob, I just get started with RA because my first machine worked best with it and then I switched to Admelody because it is really good and the cheapest I've found.
Like I said, my Brother does fine with Coats and Clark (which some people swear comes stratight from hell!) and JoAnn's has it.

Didn't someone say they just did a redesign and no more cassettes that is why they sold the 350 so cheap after Christmas . But I still love it , it is a GREAT entry level machine :lol:

I think it happens also when you fabric isn't real snug or pulled tight in the hoop. Mine does not like sulky thread either. Anything that is loopy or twisteddoesn't work well. My friend told me not to use sulky when i purchased her machine. I purchsed some from ebay that works well. Will tell you the seller if you want to know. I bought some coats and clark but haven't tried it yet. Good luck.

May I ask where you bought your machine and how long ago?? If you purchased it from a reliable Brother Dealer and they say there is a defect in the machine you bought, then you should make certain that they do something about it and they should. However, if you bought it at Walmart or off the internet, then you have a different story. The machines they sell at Walmart are not the same quality that are sold through a dealer and they often have flaws or flimsier parts because they are mass produced at a lower price (cheaper quality) to supply the lower end market of the discount stores. With an embroidery machine when the thread starts breaking, you need to check out the thread you are using, the bobbin and change the needle more often. I have owned three Brother machines all purchased at a brother dealer and have only experienced minimal problems.
