Review on 🧡 Enhance Precision Sewing with the Brother SA538 Seam Guide by Doris Tran

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Unofficial Equivalent

I bought this guide. I'm pretty sure it's not a Brother accessory, it's generic. It even looks different: on Brother's official site, the screw is orange, on this one it's white. My problem is that you can't tighten the screw without putting pressure on the needle plate, which causes the bobbin thread to constantly feed. It was a painful sewing project until I realized the problem. I removed the seam guide and voila, the problem was gone. I experimented with loosening the screw, but all it did was shift the seam guide, rendering it unusable. A seam guide makes no sense if it is constantly rotating. I am using a Brother SE600 machine.
