It worksJul 24, 2010
well the machine works pretty well. Only one thing I can't shirr, which seems to be a problem with many brother machines, found some help online that suggests the screw on the bobbin case be tightened which should fix the problem
5 Stars except for the "free arm"May 14, 2010
I love this machine. I use it a lot. I am a new at sewing, but I have had an accomplished seamstress giving me lessons. Even she has been impressed with everything this little machine can do. If I could give this machine 4 and 3/4 stars, I would. The only reason I can't give it 5 is because of it's "free arm". This has got to be the fattest free arm I have ever seen. It is definitely not easy to set in sleeves with this machine. It can be done though. Overall, this little sweetheart is well worth the price.
Nice for the priceSep 28, 2009
I've had this sewing machine for 3 years, and it's still running well with casual use. It will occasionally jam-up, but haven't had a problem solving it yet. I've never had a major complaint about it, and still happy I chose it. I'd definitely recommend it for casual or beginner sewers.

 Expensive Door StopAug 23, 2009
My brother ES-2000 sewing machine lasted for exactly one project. Near the end of the project, the thread became very tangled in the bobbin case; the machine beeped at me repeatedly and indicated an E6 message. I looked up the error code and untangled the thread. The machine was unresponsive so I power cycled it. It beeped for a good long while after being turned back on and then never did anything every again. Huzzah for cheap plastic crap!
So far Brother's "Support" department has not been very supportive. They've pointed me to their gee-whiz-awesome trouble shooting chart: Symptom - sewing machine does not work -> Possible Cause - You have not used the foot pedal correctly -> How to put it right - Use the foot controller properly. Thanks for that awesome advice! And here I thought I was supposed to work it with my tongue. Perhaps I can coerce Brother into replacing it under the so far under-whelming 25 year limited warranty. It appears that the warranty is limited to the original air in the box, however. Seeing as I've already misplaced the factory air, I'm pretty much boned on this one.
The light still comes on, but that's about all it can do. I have half a mind to rip it apart and salvage out the motor to build a vandegraff generator. At least I can (safely) shock my students with it. Until I decide to do something else with it, it does a great job propping open the door of my shed.
If I could give it a negative rating, I'd be all over that.

Sewing Machine A Piece of JunkAug 14, 2009
I bought this machine for my grandaughter and she had three machine sent to her because the first one didnt work,the second one didnt work and neither did the third one. She was able to get a return label for the first one but had to pay herself to send the other two back.The machines had the same problem and she even called the Brother Customer Service Center and they just kept sending her the same machines with the same problem. It wasnt until I said I would go to my credit card company for a refund on my money that a 4th machine of a different model was sent and it worked.I dont think she should have had to pay for sending any of the ones that didnt work back. This whole thing took over two months to get straight. It will be the last time I ever buy a Brother item.
