Do not like Brother, love my Janomes ....6600 and 8900 are a dream for quilting. I purchased a 11000 Special Edition at a great price....it is a wonderful machine for sewing and embroidery. When the 12000 and 15000 sewing embroidery machines came out the price on the 11000SE went way down....Allbrands.com, Brubakers had them at great prices....go and try machines out....best wishes.
