I ordered it in January 2021, and got it on time, well packaged with the machine and all it's accessories intact. I cannot remember the last time I was that excited while waiting for an order. This machine is a beauty to behold (sometimes I just sit and look at it and thank my Lucky stars I ordered it from Amazon). It is a joy to sew with as it sews like a dream????. It was love at first sight for me, yes...I fell in love with my machine and I fell real hard. I have done some monogramming with it and it came out so beautiful. I have also mended clothes and sewn simple projects with it and it did the job with ease. The fact that it runs quietly and the led light shines so bright is a given. A good piece of advice though, run away from cheap and bad threads because it hates it. I will continue to rock my machine and I will give an update on its durability and usage later. If you are looking for an all round no stress machine, look no further, just order this machine and thank me later. Believe me you will become the fashionista of your dreams as it can handle most projects and materials like denim, cotton, polyester etc. I simply adore my brother SE600 and you will too. Update after 2 years in my sewing and craft room... I simply adore this machine. I use it mostly for it's embroidery function as I got another brother sewing machine with one size font lettering capability. Brother SE600 is simply the best. Some tips for you though... Do yourself a huge favour...READ YOUR MANUAL from start to finish. You will be glad you did. You will not visit any repair/service workshop for a long time if you do. Buy 75/11, 80/12 and 90/14 organ needles in packs. More of the 75/11 though. Don't bother with any other brand if you want no incessant needle breaks, needle timing issues, needle and bobbin case hit and miss stories etc. The longevity and durability of organ needles are a plus too. I now understand why brother recommend it for use in their machines, they are in sync period. Use the best rayon and polyester threads you can find, do not go cheap and too cheap on it, you will not only be disappointed but you will definitely regret it. I use newbrothread polyester threads for most of my embroidery designs and a very good rayon thread (threw away the label and box so I cannot remember the brand name sorry). I only use simthread prewound bobbins for all my projects. I found out that simthread prewound bobbin threads were the exact weight recommended by brother for their machines unlike the newbrothread prewound bobbins I saw on Amazon. I stuck to simthread because it does not shred nor release too many lint in my bobbin case. It never cuts off, lasts long and sews to the last thread. It works very well with the newbrothread polyester threads as top threads. Stick to the tension that works for your machine embroidery needs. Avoid uncessary trials and errors. I stuck to 4 on mine. It was set like so from the factory and when I sewed with it, it came out perfect and I never touched that dial till date. Threading it is a breeze, just follow the instructions on the body. If your needle is not threading automatically, leave a longer thread tail and also check out the machine arm wheel and align the line on the rolling arm to the slit on top of the machine. It does the trick. Clean your machine after each project if you can. I couldn't lol so I stuck to my weekly routine which worked perfectly because I was not using it on daily basis. If you use it daily on several projects then change your needle daily. I never got used to the idea of a new needle for every new project lol but I noticed that the needle change and cleaning of the machine helps it to work quietly and smoothly without needle breaks, tension issues or bunched up threads. Trust me, I know. When I maintained my cleaning, oiling, needle change and good thread routine, I decided I couldn't live without my machine lol. Buy a small laptop vaccum cleaner, it works for cleaning the insides of your sewing machine too. Contrary to popular believe, do not oil your machine too often, read your manual to know how often and where to oil your machine. I only oil my bobbin area sparingly after cleaning it. A tiny drop of oil from my lily white zoom spout bottle. Use the dust cover to protect your machine after each use, don't procrastinate and don't be lazy too. Dust and debris are your machine's worst enemies. I use the dust cover it came with cover mine and then another bag for the embroidery arm. Lastly, make your machine uniquely yours by tweaking the look of it lol. Add some stickers and your name on the body. I hope this helped someone. Cheers.
