Brother TY400G

Excellent machine – I have recently purchased this machine from Spotlight. Replacing a very old and noisy Singer, my research led me to avoiding a computerised model. Brother definitely stood out as a reliable and value for money brand. There are plenty of accessories available to expand your project options. It is a smooth and quiet machine that glides along beautifully. With 37 stitches you have plenty of options for both non stretch and stretch. A one step buttonhole setting took a bit of working out, but gives a good buttonhole. My one gripe is that the included instructions (one fold out sheet in several languages.....) are very basic and a bit of follow up via YouTube is needed. A proper instruction book would be very helpful, but that isn’t available even through Brother manuals. The Brother website is excellent in showcasing all accessories.
