I have 3 Brother machines all from Wal Mart. The 1st is I think the 2175 a VERY basic machine, but a work horse. i only paid 75.00 for it. The 2 is the Disney 270D I have only done some machine embroidery on it. paid 399.00 and the last one is the CS6000i, for about 199.00.(I just went and checked it is now down to 179.00) I do almost everything on the last machine . I have had very good luck with my Brothers :lol: The 6000 has needle down, came with a quilting table (?) extra feet, needle left, right or center. Adjustable stitch length, walking foot. Good luck with your machine search, there are a lot of good ones to choose from
