Worked great for a short time!

I busting this down from 5 stars to 2. After checking out several reviews, I chose this machine and could not have been happier. It's easy to thread and wind bobbins, the buttonhole attachment is super, and the variety of stitches is fantastic. I also like the detachable table feature, even though the throat is a little too large. I thought that it was well worth the money, until, at 4 months old and very light use, the motor just locked up! I took it apart, cleaned it, and then called Brother customer service. The operator had me do all the maintenance steps, and then gave me the number of a local dealer. I had to bring it in and leave it with them for repair. Luckily it's still under warranty, but now I'm wondering just how reliable the machine will be after repairs. So much for my Spring Break projects!
