Brother XR3140
I was in Costco the other day and saw they had a Brother sewing machine model XR 3140. I've been thinking of getting another machine because the Husqvarna I have now refuses to do a buttonhole (it's been to the shop twice, $100. a trip, works for about a dozen buttonholes and then reverts back to crap). This wouldn't be my only machine as I have another Brother that I love to use for quilting, a Singer 99 for the heavy duty stuff, and an Imagine serger. I not only quilt but do costumes, and buttonholes are necessary.
My question is that when I went to look for reviews, I found nothing. Even tried the Brother website and they don't even have a picture or any specifications. So I assume this is so new that there are no customer/owners out there yet. Do the manufacturers make a series of machines just for the big box stores? Do I really want to be the first person out there to take a chance? For $190. it's not that big of an investment, but I could use that money for something else for sure! Of course it's Costco, so there was no display model plugged in to check it out.
Any body out there own one and can give me a review? Anxiously awaiting everyone's thoughts.
Thanks!
