Brother Innov-is CS 8060

The Brother Innov-is CS 8060 was my first sewing machine. I still works and I am very happy that I had to learn on exactly that machine as it is quite user friendly.

The things that I don't like are that after four years (only two of which more intense work) it needs reparation. When there is little left from the bobbin it makes a great mess with the upper thread. I have to check whether the stitch on the back is proper as it makes "birds nests" with no reason more and more often.

The bobbin winder doesn't wind more than one bobbin which is because something in the Brother Innov-is CS 8060 machine needs change (I find that quite embarrassing as I like to wind 4-5 bobbins ahead) and it hasn't been used that much.

I find the automatic threader inefficient - sometimes it takes me 10-20 tries to thread automatically and at the same time there's no MANUAL threading option.

I am not mentioning some of the embroidery stitches that didn't function from the very beginning.

All those years I thought that the problem was in my not-knowing but it turned out that the problem was not in me, unfortunately now that I realized that the guarantee period is over, but I'm not willing to invest more in that machine.
