It arrived! My Brother NS-40 computerized sewing machine.
My daughter is the big sewer in the family and had these great comments about the machine.
Two words: SEW AMAZING!
I was super excited to try out my new Brother NS-40 sewing machine and it didn't disappoint one bit. I started up my machine and was wowed by the LCD screen and touch controls, automatic bobbin-winder and needle-threader. I tried out a few of the 40 programmed stitches and churned out 3 ferret hammocks in just over an hour! Drop in bobbin-loading, auto back stitch feature and a stylish design make this machine a great pick for anyone looking to upgrade their older model; This is a wonderful machine for the beginner or the seasoned sewer.
At approx $499. ,this machine is a bit costly, but with Brother's limited 25 year warranty this is definitely a great deal and well worth the extra splurge. I have purchased many low-end sewing machines under $200.00 over the years and you really do get what you pay for; and the NS-40 is a sure bet on money well spent.
This machine is easy to use and allows for simple clothing repairs, quilting, 5 types of buttonholes and free motion stitching. It has enough bells and whistles for a person to play around with but not so much that it becomes hard to use or an unnecessary function.
I enjoy making my own clothes (and stuff for my ferrets' cage) and usually repair clothing a few times if I can instead of just throwing anything away. I have been working on cutting the pieces for my third T-shirt quilt and cannot wait to get sewing!

I'd love a new machine as my old 50 year old used machine has seen way better days. I'm thinking it might be way cheaper to win a new Brother sewing machine than to invest getting the old one fixed. Also I recently took a quilting course & would love to try out what I learned.

I haven't had my own sewing machine and borrowing doesn't encourage me to sew, it actually slows me down.

I'd like to win this machine because my husband and I are unemployed and can't afford to buy my daughter a good machine. We just spent $150 to fix her surger (which is over 30 years old) but she needs something newer to do actual sewing with.

Hi Monique, Wonderful Website!
ReplyDeleteJust a few words how I got here. About 2 months ago I experience a 3 foot basement flood and lost many things.
Amongst them was my Brothers sewing machine. I was on line looking for a review on the Brother NS-40 computerized
machine so that in due time (when finances became available) I would be able to get this machine. One of the reviews
brought me to your One Income Dollar website. Much to my surprise, it was for a "give away" for exactly what I need.
I miss mine even more now that (since my workplace plant closure) I have a lot of free time on my hands to use my
sewing abilities as an income.
Could you please add my name into the giveaway draw For the Brothers NS-40, I would very much appreciate this.
Thank you Jo Anne Chaplin , Windsor Ontario e-mail jochaplin2@hotmail.com
p.s. I had to laugh because I have 3 teenage daughters,one of which made a hammock for her pet rats- (eewww I know
but they are very sweet and cuddly according to her) Bye now.
