I bought a refurbished Brother cs6000i for $125 to take to classes. I got it online from Ken's Sewing in Alabama. He has a Brother internet contract and sells many, many machines very reasonable and will take care of them, too. I do business with him whenever I need a machine or parts. He is great to work with and I do recommend him. The first machine I bought from him I was afraid of having it shipped with damage so we drove over to his shop in northwest Alabama. My Brother I had him ship and I couldn't have been more pleased with his packaging, and will never have to worry about shipping from him again.
