I really like my CS6000i and have made several quilts with it. I bought mine from Amazon - best price I found and it came the next day even though I didn't pay for 'next-day' shipping. The machine is easy to use, and doesn't have complicated features. I did have a problem with it making a funny noise after I had completed FMQ a huge quilt, and I thought I had worn it out! I took it to a local Brother service place, and since I still had the receipt and it was less than a year old they fixed it for NO CHARGE. They told me it was the timing that had gotten 'off'. It has been working great ever since.
