My old, cheap Brother machine died on me in the middle of a project and I am looking to get a new one since both my interest in quilting and my sewing in genereal have picked up. Unfortunately I only have about $200 to spend on a machine. I also have all, I mean all, the Brother feet due to a very generous lady from this quilting board, so I'd like to stick with Brother if I can. I've heard that the CS6000i is a decent low end quilting machine. Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I purchased a CS6000i Brother about 4 years ago and have used it at least twice a week since. I loved this sewing machine so much and was afraid that it would not last as long as I wanted it to so I just ordered another one from Amazon for $144. I just love that it has an extension table and a walking foot included with the machine. I just can't sing enough praises about it. I sure hope the new one coming will be just as reliable.
