The brother 6000i is available from Amazon at a very reasonable price and is great to take for a carry-around machine. It does a great job and is a computer machine with stitches. When my Pfaff had a problem (the first in many years) the 6000 took over and you could not tell the applique done by the Pfaff from the 6000. I haven't try free motion with it as I think it is too light a machine to sew that fast. Will give it a try one day.
