Wow, what a great gift. I have the Brothers CS 600i. I love all the stitches on it. I have yet to play with all of them like the button hole ones but most of the decorative stitches I have used and cant imagine not having them. Also the best part is that the feed dogs drop for FMQ. Just sit down and play on some scrap fabric. Once you find something you really like make sure you write it down in a small notebook or something dedicated to that machine. I wish I would have done that since the beginning. I now have stitches that I love on some projects but cant remember the exact settings other what stitch. Just have fun. My new machine had me giggling for weeks.
