What msladyj likes about this machine
I love my Brother CE5000prw. This lightweight machaine has handed well the anoumount of sewing I have thrown at it. I was able to sew everything from shear fabrics to thick polar fleece. Love that I have 50 built in stiches 87 stitch functions and 5 built in button holes. My serger is currently down and this machines overcast stitches have done a wonderful job keeping everything neat. I keep challenging this little machine as I challenge my own abilities and it has proven it can handle it.

What msladyj does not like about this machine
My disapointment may be a user error but for the life of me It is very hard to get a perfect button hole. About 1 out of 5 turns out neat and well done. I've also never got the double need stitch function to work correctly. Maybe this is part of the tension problem mentioned in other review.

I do think this machine is worth the money and will keep you posted on if I figure away to correct these two disapointments.
