Very rarely do I have to play with tension. No thread breaks. If my quilting looks like crap now, I only have myself to blame! You should be able to get any of these machines for about a $1000. I paid about $800 for my Jane in November. Keep your Brother for when you want to zig zag, blanket stitch, or other decorative stitch. Good luck and have fun shopping.
