I have a brother machine .I don't like it. I can't Bind a quilt on it. It doesn't like the heavy stuff. It boggs down sewing over two seams piecing a quilt. I don't no what model it is. I have old Dressmaker commercial school use that I do heavy stuff on.I wish I had another one.

I've been reading about it on Amazon.com and also perusing the reviews. I am really impressed with it but after reading some reviews, I don't know.
I really need a better machine than I have now but can't afford a really expensive machine.

I have the Brother 4000 version - 40 stitches - 1 step down from the one you want. I LOVE mine, it is quiet, does a good job going through denim on jeans, easy to use, and light weight. I especially love the fact it stops with the needle down position. I use mine almost every morning, quilting, sewing apron out of blue jeans, mending, etc. I am so pleased with mine that I recommend it to anyone looking for a new machine. I bought mine in a Wal-Mart for $129.00 about 2 years ago. It replaced a New Home machine I had had for over 30 years. It would have cost me almost as much $ to fix that one as it cost to buy this one. The only thing I do not like is that the sleeve arm is bigger than the one that I replaced.

have never used this machine but find that i occassionally need to have my machine serviced. where do you go if you need service? how much will it cost? you can probably find the same machine at a dealers for the sa me price and have free lessons and support. its probably a great machine but i'd want someone i can count on if something does go wrong. good luck whatever you decide.

...Brother CS6000I
I didn't get this particular model, but I did get the XR9000 and I love it - got it off of Amazon also....refurbished and it's wonderful!!! The decorative stitches come out very clear....small, but nice.

I'm just dreaming at this point but thanks for all the input you gave me.
To those who suggest I go to a dealer for Janome and other high cost machines..............I can barely scrap up enough for this machine @ $169.99 let a lone a Janome. Belive me, I'd like nothing better than to have a top notch machine but not everyone, including myself can afford those machines. I started out sewing on a simple Singer dh got me for Christmas in 1968 and loved but it went on the fritz and we don't have any repair shops near here. I got a Brother XL3022 14 years ago at Walmart for $179 which I like and am using still and haven't had any trouble with it at all but I want one that has more features, now that I am learning to quilt.
JoAnn's has one I'd really like but the $299. (on sale, reg. $399) price tag is beyond my reach. :(
I'll let you know what I get if I am lucky enough to get a new one.

It looks like a bargain at that price. I have a Brother which was originally $2000.00 and reduced to $1,000.00 in a sale. I know it is not in the same class, but my machine is better than the other brand that I have that cost $7,000.00. So I will buy another Brother without hesitation.
