Wonderful! Fabulous Sewing Machine!
May 14, 2013
By Sparkle from Santa Rosa, CA
My primary interest and reason for buying the Brother DreamWeaver VQ3000 was the 7mm -7 point feed dog system. I am a quilter, and the Brother DreamWeaver has the narrower (not 9mm) feed system along with small feed dogs in front of the foot as well as the two longer side feed dogs, plus three mid size feed dogs behind the foot. Thus it is very easy to start sewing without thinking too much about the placement of small pointy tips or edges of seams. The small front feed dogs literally grab the fabric and pull it evenly and smoothly under the foot to complete your stitching.

Little did I know the wonder that awaited me, aside from the feed dog system!

The needle threader is automatic. No levers to pull down and rotate into the eye of the needle like some brands have. You thread the machine and guide the last few inches of thread into a slotted area of the needle threader and push the needle thread button on front edge of the machine. It automatically threads irregardless of where the needle hole is located.

The runway lighting on the machine is the best I've seen, and easy to adjust in the machines user friendly touch screen menu section. Also, the Users Manual gives clear and concise directions about everything to do with the machine and sewing techniques with good diagrams and photos.

The machine comes with a large arm or harp area. 11.5" inches and a large extended detachable table. The adjustable legs on the extension table fold down flat for easy transporting or storage. There is also a slide on smaller extension that creates a flat surface on the free arm and also serves as a compartment for storing all the feet except the MuVit walking foot.

The DreamWeaver MuVit foot is a new innovation of the walking foot and rolls across the fabric rather than feeding the fabric in the traditional sense of most walking feet that push and pull the fabric under the foot. I have used it to attach quilt binding, and I like how straight it keeps the fabric as it rolls along for straight line quilting. Also, I've found it has no problem rolling over many thick layers of decorator weight fabric or denim.

The machine comes with an open toe free motion foot and I have free motioned, and the machine tensions were great, and it was easy to maneuver the quilt sandwich around on the smooth large surface of the machine. That 11.5 wider arm width sure is nice!

I was not sure about how useful the Laser light system on the machine would be. I thought perhaps it was a gimmick type feature. But I love it! and use it a lot. Especially for stitching diagonally across small quilt squares to create half square triangles. I used to have to mark these diagonal lines or eyeball them. Not anymore with the laser. I also use it for piecing binding on the diagonal. I can turn it on and move it for as a reference for 1/4" seaming. It has several settings center, left and right. I recently used it as guide to do some decorative stitching. Setting it on center of the needle. It was so helpful to have the laser as a reference. The laser beam light is also adjustable from bright to dimmer. I'm sure there are more uses for the laser feature I have not discovered.

The low thread bobbin sensor is true, in that you do have very little bobbin thread left on the bobbin when it says it's low. Some bobbin sensors start telling you the bobbin thread is low prematurely. The auto bobbin winder has it's own motor and also a speed control so you can wind threads slowly, or very fast. Nice!

The built in decorative stitches on the VQ3000 are wonderful! Some have the appearance of triple stitch hand embroidery and are gorgeous and stitch out without any skipping.

The machine is well made and has a sturdy feel to it, the top lid where the thread spindles, bobbin winder and thread path are located has a well made closing lid. The knee lift and comfortable foot pedal have a substantial feel to them as well. It is however not a lightweight machine and weighs approx. 40 lbs. So, traveling with it, even though it comes with it's own rolling case is not something I would do frequently.

The sliding speed and stitch width control operates smoothly. No jerking movement. There is also a locking stitch that takes 3-5 in place locking stitches plus the reverse button.

The DreamWeaver also offers the hover feature. So when you stop sewing, the foot raises automatically. When you press on the foot pedal, the foot drops to start sewing.

This machine also still has the foot lifter lever at the back of the machine, along with the knee lift. Some of the newer machines only offer a button or knee lift to raise and lower the foot. The DreamWeaver still has both which I feel is a plus.

The machine has five memories for storing your favorite stitches and makes it very easy to store and retrieve saved stitches. It also has the Brother "Custom Stitch" for creating your own personal stitches. I have not tried the Custom Stitch feature yet.

Oh, I did forget to mention the machine has a clock! lower right side of the touch screen. Something different, and surprisingly useful. The machine also has a power saving feature you can set that puts the machine in "sleep" mode if you leave the machine and don't come back in say 10, 15, or more minutes. It turns off the lights and screen on the machine and you just have to lightly touch the screen when you come back, and it comes back on ready to sew where you left off.

If you have been looking for the "perfect" sewing machine with all the features in one machine, this is pretty near that perfection!

Only negative: I wish the machine had the pop off needle plate. Instead you do have to remove two small screws to switch from the single hole needle plate that also is standard and does come with the machine, to the also included zig-zag hole needle plate. But, that is the only thing I have found that I would like to see improved on this wonderful machine that really is a "dream" to sew with!
