I have a Brother CS 6000, This is my 2nd Brother. I quilt on my CS 6000 But I meander quilting, and stipple quilting, I've also done a Irish Chain on sashing. But all of this is free motion quilting. I also make my quilts, by the quilt as you go. I also hand quilt. I do not have a expensive machine. Right now at Walmart they have the CS6000 on sale at a real good price. I'm very pleased with it. My older Brother still works. It's about 15 yrs old. This one is 3 yrs old.
