Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the board and new to quilting (and sewing for that matter!). I'm glad people like the QC 1000. I just bought one at a Mother's Day sale.
I have a used (classroom model) Brother NX 400, and did not really think I'd go for another Brother. I saw and liked the Babylock Espire, suspected it was a Brother machine and decided to stay with Brother and my current dealer after I saw the QC 1000. It seemed to have a high fun factor!
It's nearly identical to the Espire and I got a free little sewing/embroidery machine as a rebate (a Project Runway limited edition, ha ha).
It seemed like a good deal. It's great that you experienced sewers like it.
Cheers, Elaine
