Hubby just got me a little Brother CE4000 on Overstock.com. It was refurbished and while it doesn't have any of the bells and whistles of my Bernina, it does a nice job and has some nice fancy stitches that are nice and the stitches can be up to 7mm. I got a generic FMQ foot and walking foot but haven't tried them yet. Nicest, it is only 11 pounds.
