I have a brother SQ9050...couldn't love it more!!! So easy to use..tons of great features..you don't have to pull the bobbin thread up through the top before you start sewing..(great time saver), auto needle threader!!(great for older eyes)...built in fonts, and my favorite is the speed adjuster...if something happened to this machine today, I would go right out and buy another one.
I bought 2 singers right before this, and brought them both back...very cheaply made and had terrible tension issues on both models...love my brother!!

I love Brother machines and have more than one, from a $200 walmart to TOL dealer machine, all great. Advantage with a delaer is lessons, service. advantage with one from a big box store is the return policy if by chance you get a lemon or just don't like it. The same models are not sold by dealers that are in big box stores but they can be very similar. I once wrote to brother to ask if there was an internal difference on similar models sold in discount stores or sold by dealers, they replied that the insides were the same.
Another dealer advantage though is the opportunity to buy a lower cost machine that has been traded in for an upgraded model. On a used machine you would get more features for the same amount of money that a new machine would cost.
If it were me my first stop would be a dealer to check put the used machines, I've gotten great machines that way.

If I ever graduate to more bells and whistles I'll go to the Baby Lock again. A really smooth machine, really smooth sewing. Not out of reach to buy extras as the Berninas. Enjoy your DC2010...I think we made a good choice for what our sewing needs were!

I have this machine also, and have sewn I don't know how many quilts on it. I also have the PQ1500s that I have had for almost a year. I picked it up on Craig's List for $400. Love my Brother machines!

I gave mine to my niece & nephew after they came for a visit and fell in love with sewing. How could I not? They have no trouble using that machine on their own (they are 8 & 12 years old) and have made tons of little pillows and pouches; my nephew is working on making "armor" right now, LOL.
One thing to keep in mind about these cheapie machines though...they work great and are sufficient for most purposes, but if she's going to become an obsessed quilter she will probably outgrow the little machine pretty quickly. I know I did; I made 2 quilts on it and I knew I was hooked and needed something bigger, stronger and sturdier.
