Project Runway. Sounds glamorous, doesn’t it? Well, it is and I’m not talking that reality TV shows that’s hosted by Heidi Klum and has now reached its 18th season. Instead, I am referring to the Brother Project Runway PC420PRW Computerized Sewing Machine. Let’s talk about what made me say this on the Brother PC420PRW Review.

 

Project Runway: A Brother PC420PRW Review

 

Specification and Features

This baby is 17.3″ x 7.9″ x 11.4″ big and 26 lbs. The first thing that came to mind is how this is significantly heavier than how a Singer sewing machine of the same size will weight. This got me curious though, how so? This is possibly because aside from a metal skeletal frame/ interior, the external housing seems to be made of thicker hence heavier plastic.

With regards to feature, this model is not something to be taken lightly. It is feature packed and very suitable to accompany competitors of its namesake reality tv show. I am trying out a different approach to doing this and I’m starting it on this Brother PC420PRW Review. I’d like to segregate the sewing machine functions and features according to 4 important categories that matter most to sewists.
