Just been "surfing" at Amazon.com and noticed they have the Brother CS6000I machine (list price $449.00) on sale for $159.99 with FREE SHIPPING AND NO SALES TAX! That is 65% off the price and still get free shipping. Just incase anyone is still looking for a good machine! I bought my machine from them a few weeks ago and it arrived within the week.

You can get it at Walmart for $159 too. I love mine!! Though I would kill for a Brother PE770 too. ;)

Does this machine have embroidery?
I just bought the Brother SQ-9000

The PE770 is an embroidery mchine, but the 6000i is just a sewing machine.

I just bought the PC420 Project Runway-294 stitches (which is really over-kill for me since I only make quilts-I haven't learned to embroider yet-need to take a few classes before I get an embroidering machine. I know it is my second Brother and I love the machines!

I'm getting the 9000 for Christmas. (My husband is NOT sneaky! He thinks he is, but the packing slip from Amazon was left on the bed we've been using for wrapping.)

I"m SOOO excited, but hope I told my daughter the right machine to tell him. :)

HaHa. Aren't daughters great for passing on our "wants"? Enjoy your machine.

I just bought this for my mom for Christmas-she is super excited!!!

I have both the machines and love them.
