Brother SE-270D Computerized Sewing Machine

The safety device has been activated. (by 4 users)

posted by sew-phie on Apr 05, 2008

Okay, fair enough. The needle does not appear to be bent. Neither the upper or lower threads are jammed. And not the machine will not sew. Horrible grinding noise and the balance wheel is locked and won't budge an inch. I bought this machine for my Mother's birthday in October. This is only the 3rd time we've used it!

It is under warantee for 12 months, so I would recommend you phone the dealer to arrange for them to have a look at it.....if you have any samples of sewing, take them too.
