Brother CS 6000i
This is a super little starter. I use mine to cart around to classes and guild. You can buy it off Amazon for about $150.00. It is computerized and sells for$350.00 from a brother dealer. Friends have had theirs for over 5 years now without problems. I bought one for a daughter-in-law and she loves it. Her 10 year old daughter uses it all the time as well I have recommended it to lots of other very satisfied people. This is mt choice for a starter or carry about as I use mine.
