S'm sorry you aren't getting along with your Brother. I love mine, and both my daughters have them. I do notice a difference in the quality between the three machines--the lighter ones get testy. I use the walking foot which came with the machine, and it has worked really well. I don't like not being able to back tack to tie off the last stitch, but that's the only problem.
I still believe in the Pfaff built in even feed walking foot which comes in the higher priced Pfaffs and Janomes HOWEVER, check e-bay and craig's list for the Pfaff 7550 or 7570 which were still made in Germany and can be purchased for a fraction of the cost of the new ones made in China. They are wonderful.
