![]() The machine does not include any sort of cover. You need to use the foot pedal to control the sewing speed.

The main limitation of Brother CE8080PRW is that it is not a fully computerized machine. ![]() I was able to sew through multiple layers of denim quite easily. This machine is quite good for quilting but the throat is not spacious enough to accommodate large projects. The stitch quality is consistent without any skipping or tension issues. The operation of the machine is very smooth and quiet. The clear cover for bobbin is very useful as you can see how much thread is left. This has to be one of the easiest machines to thread. Brother machines always had well written user manuals, this too has a detailed one which is very easy to understand. There are no serious issues like jamming or needle breaking. The tension seems perfect right out of the box. The included feet are Buttonhole foot, Zipper foot, Button sewing foot, Overcastting foot, Blind stitch foot, Monogramming foot and ZigZag Presser Foot.īrother CE8080PRW does bring a positive feeling towards sewing.

The thread tension on CE8080PRW needs to be adjusted manually. A backstitching button is provided to secure the stitch at the beginning and the end. The stitch width can be set up to 7mm and stitch length up to 5mm. The stitch length and width adjustments can be done using the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons right next to the LCD screen (optimal stitch length and width is automatically set). It is not actually a compartment, there is a bag to fill your accessories with and you put it in the tray and slide it back. The machine has a built-in removable storage compartment, which is not huge but it is good enough for storing most of your accessories. The screen is not backlit, so some people might have some trouble reading it. It is where you can view all the stitch settings like stitch length and which presser foot to use etc etc. The LCD screen does seem old fashioned but it is nice. 80 built-in stitches also include 8 one-step buttonholes and quilting stitches.
