Brother does not make two of the same machine.......one made cheaply and one made "with better parts" to sell at different stores.
My SQ900 came with more feet than I can ever use. I didn't have to buy any extras. It does everything I ask of it. Those $2000.00 and up sewing machines can go haywire just as easy as the $200.00 one from Wal Mart.
Thanks for saying this. I don't know why people still believe they make cheaper models just for walmart, joanns or these other stores. Also I was not missing any parts from my walmart brother SQ-9050 and have had nothing but good things from this machine plastic gears and all, and would recommend to anyone looking for a low cost machine. I'd be hard pressed to spend more for the same machine at my dealer it just doesn't make sense to on a low end machine. I have bought all my low ends online or at walmart, and will continue to do so. Also I have had no trouble getting my low ends serviced for their regular cleaning. If your dealer doesn't service them then my advice get a new dealer. A good dealer will offer his or her services whether you purchased from them or not. If my dealer said no I would not be spending my thousands of dollars with him because it would be poor customer service and bad for repeat business
