Costco Brother® LB-6800THRD Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machine
This is probably in the wrong place so feel free to move it!! Costco for $349.99, not sure if it is a good price or not. But the hoop is only 4 X 4 if you were looking for something bigger.

Can't help on that particular machine, but I had bought the xr1355 when it was on sale. I really like brother sewing machines and this particular one has been a workhorse. I do all my piecing on it as I have the 1/4" foot. Have had no problems with it and love the extra fancy stitching. Also, Costco stands behind what they sell. If I had the extra money, I would probably buy the this embroider machine.

Is this the same machine?

If so, the Amazon reviews may provide additional info.
This looks like a similar machine on Amazon with a similar price to Costco:

Most machines are made in China or Taiwan anymore, so that has nothing to do with the quality of the individual machine. I take a lot of these kind of reviews with a grain of salt. If you read them carefully, you'll notice how many are from inexperienced people buying their first sewing machine, have no real idea what they're doing so problems can often be attributed to user error.

I have this Brother LB6800 machine. I wanted to try embroidery and it is a terrific machine for making quilt labels. You can buy a slightly larger hoop and move it to create larger than 4x4 but you need embroidery software. I use Sew What Embroidery software by S&S computing. It does what I need. I really love this little machine for classes and piecing quilts.

I bought a small brother embroidery/ sewing machine at Walmarts in 2006. It was on special for 500. Has the small 4by4 hoop. I bought it on a whim because it does Disney. Has never given me a bit of trouble. Do not do much embroidery. I use it in my RV. Has all kinds of features and has pieced a number of quilt tops. I don't think it would be good for very heavy fabrics. I have too many machines but can't part with this one!
