I just purchased a Brother CS6000i on Amazon. It is a $449 machine for $159.97. I have used it for the last three months with pretty much constant sewing and it works great. Prior to this I had a Kenmore for 25 years when it bit the dust and then bought another Kenmore that lasted 29 years and actually is still working. I gave it to my daughter in law and got the Brother since it was a great deal and it had more features than I had in the past. I didn't know Kenmore was made by Janome or I would have looked there again!
