I can't speak to the sewing machines, but I have to say that I've had
very good luck with Brother printers. However, we have to be honest
and acknowledge that I'm talking about LASER printers, not the $%^&*
inkjet silliness.
In my DEFINITELY not-so-humble opinion, the "run away as fast as you
can" advice applies to ALL inkjets that are intended for home use.
The only real differences I'm aware of between Brother and HP LASER
printers are price, and the fact that the HP drivers are usually
included in the distribution by default, and you have to download and
install the Brother drivers. I'm sitting next to a Brother MFC L-
2750DW that is a year or so old, and it does everything I need it to.
As always, YMMV.
