I have a Brother QC 1000. I have had it about 1 1/2 yrs. and really like it. I have had a couple of problems, but they have been my fault. I did something to the needle threader and it was replaced without charge. Then I dropped a broken needle down in the working parts and that was corrected. Other than that, the machine works great. It also has decorative stitches, letters, etc. on it. Goes through thick layers easily. Does a beautiful stitch when you are free motion quilting.
