I just got a new Brother for Christmas that I'd been saving for. I did all my research online to choose what machine would give me what I wanted (needed) for quilting & when I went to my dealership all I had to do was tell them what I wanted. The Sales person had very little to do with it other than ordering it for me & calling to say it was in. I got the Laura Ashley NX2000 & just adore it!! Good luck with whatever you choose!
