A small group of quilters get together once a week to "quilt". One of the ladies had purchased the 6000i and raved about it. In turn, 3 of us have gotten one and we all LOVE it. lightweight and easy to transport. I have a heavy BabyLock at home and really like sewing on the little Brothers much better. It has proven to be well worth the money for it. Love my Little Brothers.

I e-mailed Brother and called if I am setting the machine wrong; no clear solution...Just got to remember to set the needle to the correct position before starting sewing. Aside from this, I am happy with the machine.
I am new to quilting, I already made lap and Baby blankets using this machine.

It took 3 years, 100 denim quilts, 3 Project Linus Quilts and 3 Crazy Quilts, but I finally killed my Brother CS6000i. (!!!)
I took it to a local Sew/Vac shop guy who said " I wouldn't touch it."
Looked on line for a Brother Repair shop, who was happy to work on it, but at $120. plus parts, if needed, I said Thanks but No Thanks. The problem it is that when sewing all those denim quilts, I allowed the quilts to "pull" the needle to the left, thus mis-aligning the mechanism.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Brother CS6000i for normal sewing. It only weighs 13 pounds, so GO FOR IT!

I have 2 of the Brother Sewing machines. They are easy to use and transport. Walking foot is easy to put on and works very well. I have purchased two of them from Costco, one for me and one for my daughter. Costco always has a nice machine every fall/winter for a reasonable price that is of good quality. Very happy with the machines.
