Amazon has a great little Brother , I believe it is CSi 6000 which I purchased for $154.00 and I see it is cheaper now. It is only 14 pounds and sews like a dream. It is much better to haul it around than my big heavy Pfaff. Also it is an computer machine with a number of stitches. When my Pfaff broke down I finished an applique project with it and you cannot tell the difference. I have friends who have had this little machine as their primary machine for 5 years and all love it.
