As a fan of Brother sewing machines, I applaud you! Looks like good times are ahead for you.

So I have figured out to connect all the things I want / need - embroidery needle, hoop, free motion, dual feed, etc. Now, I just have to stick one of my quilts that is ready to be quilted in there and get going.

I'm a bit nervous because it sews quite differently (smoother and quieter) than my huskvarna ... we'll see how it goes!

I'm sure you will love it. I have had several Brothers, currently 5, and loved every one.

I have a pressure foot function on my brotherQC1000, if you clean your manual I’m sure your foot will do whatever you want

Congrats on your new machine!! Drooling!!!!

This is the very machine I bought just before Thanksgiving. I LOVE using it, but it does take some getting used to for some of the features I have never had before....like the foot going up every time I pause, or using the cutter instead of my scissors. I LOVE the needle threader!!!! I must say, though, I am a little disappointed in the built-in embroidery stitches. Not much that I would want to use....wish I could get those out of the memory so I could save more of what I like. Also, it is a little more hassle than I anticipated to go back and forth from sewing to embroidery....changing out the emb unit and the foot every time. Wow, do I sound like an ungrateful complainer!! I feel so fortunate to have been able to get this beautiful machine! I have done some embroidery for sure and purchased many designs, but I am taking a Basic Embroidery Class this Saturday to learn, learn, learn.....tips, techniques, tricks, stabilizers, threads, etc. Congrats on the machine!
