I bought a Brother CS6000i after Christmas due to some suggestions from this board. I absolutely love it. I had some problems last week with the walking foot jumping, but I think I fixed that and am sewing right along. It was only $145.00 on Amazon and came with loads of attachments. I still haven't tried out all the decorative stitches. I love that it has a button I can press to sew and not use the presser foot. Using this has helped when I want to keep a steady pace going and not have to rely on my foot holding down a specific presser on the presser foot. As others have said research on the internet before buying. That's what I did. Good luck.
