I purchased a Brother from Walmart in 2010 and it is a very nice machine. It was purchased after my Pfaff of 35 years broke and needed something in a hurry as I was in the middle of a quilt. Didn't have the extra money to purchase a really nice machine and it fit the bill. My granddaughter now has my Walmart machine and loves it. It works like a charm and isn't heavy so she can carry it around.
