I jut got a Brother Pq11500s and LOVE it. I was sewing on a Singer Quilter and it sews nice but was a ** for FMQ. Brothers has a larger throat so that makes it easier. Love the speed of the stitches (1500/min) which makes it easier to do meandering/stippling and get even stitches. It also sew nice for peicing. I bought mine from Amazon for $600 with free shippingh and no tax. Amazon is authorized dealer so I should be able to take it to Brother Authorized sertvice shop. Go to Sewing center and test "sew" differtent machines to see which you like!!!!!
