Brother SQ 9050
#21
I recently bought the SQ9185 at Walmart and have had no problems with it. They are guaranteed through Brother so if you have problems you can get help. I am still in the "learning" phase as I have never used a computerized machine before but so far so good.

Brother does have some really great sales right now. I know there is a difference in the machines made for big box stores, Walmart, etc but I bought a top of the line printer once from Costco, saved alot over the dealer and it lasted forever. I haven't bought any machines from Walmarts so I can't say but check out the warranty and I think you can buy an additional warranty from them too.

I would buy it with no worry. Walmart has a simple return policy. Sew the devil out of it for a couple of weeks to see if it is what you want. You have nothing to lose. No dealer I have ever been to will let you return the cheapest machine they sell because you don't like it.

Does anyone have a Brother SQ 9050 sewing machine? I am looking at one from Walmart for $199. My Brother dealer claims that the machines made for Walmart are inferior to the ones they carry and I will be very unhappy with them. I figured you guys would know if that was true or not.
I have a wonderful Brother Innovis 2000, that I love, but it is really too big to take to sewing retreats, etc., so I am just looking for a smaller machine to carry about.
I'm in need of your knowledge...

I wouldn't buy anything from Chinamart... Buy from a reputable dealer.
It's the same way with Walmart and rifles. They can order so many that they can have them made by the manufacturer at a lesser standard... hence the lower prices. You really do get what you pay for.

Looks like this is an old thread, but FWIW, I had this model of sewing machine for about 4 years. I used it VERY heavily ... we're talking hours and hours of commercial-type use almost every single day. Even with me running it so hard, it still sewed just fine even 4-ish years later, but it was making some odd noises, so I eventually replaced it with another Brother (# PC-420, which has more features and a bigger throat).
With average household/personal use, I'm sure it would last for many, many years. I feel that it was well worth the money.
Edit: I bought mine at Walmart.
