Great Quality Sewing Machine-Good Value
Great little sewing machine. Works perfect and very easy to thread. Really like the drop-in bobbin feature. Love the size and portability of it too. Quiet operation and very smooth. Great value for the money. Had a previous "Brother" sewing machine and it lasted over 30 years. Hope this one does the same. And this machine is so pretty! :) Very happy with this purchase.

🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐ Great for Beginners and Light Projects!
I bought this machine as a beginner, mainly to do light sewing tasks like bag linings and minor alterations — and it’s been perfect so far! It’s simple to use, easy to thread, and not intimidating at all. The stitch options are just enough without being overwhelming, and it runs quietly, which I really appreciate when working late. It’s definitely not meant for thick fabrics or heavy-duty sewing, but for everyday projects and learning the basics, it gets the job done beautifully. I love how lightweight it is too — easy to store and move around. If you’re new to sewing or just want something reliable for simple tasks, this is a solid pick!

Good product
Nice for travel. Good price. Fits into carry on size bag for air travel. I kept it in the Styrofoam and plastic to protect. Basic but adequate. Doesn't have those bells and whistles but gets the job done.

Great for entry level
Overall, a great entry-level machine! It's lightweight and very easy to set up—I was sewing within minutes. However, I did notice that the stitch selection dial can be a bit temperamental; sometimes when I try to switch between stitch types, it feels like it's getting stuck or doesn't click into place smoothly. Once it’s set, it works perfectly, but you just have to be careful when turning the dial

Easy to use.
Great size & several choices to choose from. It was a gift for a college student.

Great machine for the price
This is a good, solid, low cost sewing machine. The only thing to remember is to use medium to small sized spools of thread. On larger spools the thread will unravel and wrap around the spool holder. I’ve read a few reviews of people complaining about that issue but it’s actually a matter of spool size, not a defect in the machine. It’s nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

Great sewing machine
I absolutely love the Brother SM1704 Sewing Machine! It was incredibly easy to use right out of the box. Threading the machine and winding the bobbin were both simple and hassle-free. I used it to make a memory bear for a family member, and the machine handled the project beautifully without any issues. I’m excited to take on more sewing projects soon! If you’re looking for a reliable, user-friendly sewing machine, this one is a great choice. Highly recommend!

Reliability
I, personally, cannot rate the sewing machine. I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. I have owned a Brother machine for over 65 years … still works very well … the main reason I ordered BROTHER. I am sure she will love ❤️ it.

The machine is perfect and has a lot more features from my last machine that I also purchased from Amazon

L’utilité de tous les points qu’elle peut faire et sa légèreté!
Je l’ai offert à mon arrière petite-fille pour son Anniversaire de 12 ans et elle en était très heureuse!

Poor design, bobbin is ridiculous and impossible to get to work correctly.
Hate this machine, bobbin is impossible to get right and makes this useless to me. Do not recommend.
