I have said on this forum many times that I am still using a Costco version Brother machine that is over 15 years old. I also have another one - a little newer and with a few more features. And a really basic one at one son’s house and a different low end one at the other son’s House and over the years none of them had any issue, didn’t need a dealer and no need to replace. I am intrigued by the Eversewn but I don’t need another machine. Mine work fine with any thread and have a nice stitch.
