My review of Brother F540E with Ultimate Bundle
By: Valerie on 18 December 2024I'm still learning to use the machine, what has been very helpful is the number of video's to help guide you in the use of the machine. Having the Ultimate Bundle is terrific because some of the software intergrates with the main software program. I must also state Sharon has been a big help and patient with our questions.
