I have a new quilting machine from Brother. ( model NX650) My first machine, was an old brother I bought at an auction, when Montgomery-Wards stopped making their own clothing, at the factory in Portland, OR, in the late 70s. I've had 1 singer, that I won in a drawing, what a racket it made. I have always loved the 'workhorse quality' of the Brother machines, and the customer service is great, and I had to make very few service calls. Why change?
