Check http://www.patternreview.com for machine reviews of specific models. I'm sure there will be some reviews there of each machine.

Also do a search here using the search feature above. Tons of threads about them, I'm sure.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a new Singer, so I'd go with the Brother.

I would have to agree. I heard their service and quality are nothing like they were in the past.

I bought a new Singer 2 years ago and I really found it to be a piece of junk. I now have a Babylock and love it! Babylock and Brother are made by the same company. In fact I bought 1 new & one used Babylock and no problems at all.

I have to agree. I love the old Singers but, the new ones leave a lot to be desired....

My very first sewing machine was a Brother, I still have it. I now have a singer sewing machine which I love.
