I have the CS 6000i and it has been a workhorse for me. The only issue I have with it is that the throat is too narrow for me to do machine quilting on. All of the quilts I make are Queensized and there's just no room to work. But,over all it is a great machine.

I have had my Brother for 12 years and love it ----NO repairs.

I have a brother SQ-9000. I have had it a few months and I love it. Still learning the different stitches. Got mine from walmart.

Thanks everyone for the help. I ended up getting a Brother XL-7700 from Costco. It's really a CS6000i, but the Costco version. Same machine. It averaged an almost 5 star rating. No major complaints. I was going to get it onine on Overstock, E-Bay or Amazon but a lot of them didn't include the bonus accessories (walking foot, quilting foot, wide table) and the price was almost the same.And some were refurbished. I may not want to give it to my daughter. LOL

i love my brother. its a ex660 and sews great. it is a little loud. i went on and got a brother embroidery machine. and (hopefully) i will be getting a brother quilting machine tomorrow. i am very satisfied with my brother machines and would buy a brother again.
