DH recently bought me a Brother, Laura Ashley, Innov-is, NX2000 sewing machine which was designed specifically for quilters & is absolutely incredible, but I machine quilt my own quilts!! Before this I had an HS-2000 by Brother which is also incredible for piecing. I used that daily from 2010 until Christmas with no problems! Love them both!! Before that, I had a Signature by Brother for 37 years without trouble. They get five thumbs up from me!!
