I cannot help you...
I am a brother girl too...They are ususally very good machines so you will probably be very happy with it....But please let me know in case you have some more information on it and if you are happy with it..... :roll:
I have the PQ1500 which is awesome work horse machine...I have smaller machines like the XR-65 that also makes a lot for their price, and a tiny runway which I purchesed in Wall Mart for only 150$ and also works very nice....with plenty of decorative stitches on it.....
I would like to buy a bigger brother machine, similar to the Janome6600 but I don't even know if they have something like this.....(I am stuck in mexico and don't have many choises).....
Goos luck with your machine
