Hi Jill, I am also a Brother fanatic. Love my Brother's! I have been saving up for a new machine so I can do my own FMQ on bigger quilts. (I'm using an HS-2000 now & adore it!). Anyway, after doing much research, I've decided to go with the Laura Ashley Special Edition, Innovis NX-2000. I've seen it up close & personal & must say I'm impressed! I can't wait to bring it home!! It was designed specifically for quilters & I was told the price is $2,000.00 with all the extras I'd usually have to buy singularly. Best of luck with your hunt!!
