No kidding - I have that same cheapie Brother from Walmart - the XL 2600 - and it works great as far as I am concerned. When I do a larger quilt, I divide it into three segments lengthwise, then sandwich and quilt those segments individually, then sew them together. Otherwise, trying to deal with all that fabric would drive me bonkers. But the machine works great and has never given me a bit of trouble. (Knock on wood)
The sisterhood of the Brother....
