Congradulations on your purchase!! You are going to love using it for many years.
Me too! :) very solid, very sturdy... I do not find it loud at all..

Good thing about brother machines. You usually can trade up which I did in the 1st year and now I love my brother.

Hi Pauline You are going to love this machine. I have mine a couple of months and it's great. So much room for quilting. Got mine at Allbrands and they matched the price from amazon. Good luck

I don't have this particular model, but I have the Brother Runway edition to take to classes and the Laura Ashley edition to use at home. I am very happy with both of them

Good luck! Enjoy!

I have the grace starter frame. I have been used my Viking Daisy machine on it and it works good. The grace starter frame is an easy frame to put together and you can take a few bolts and and drop the frame and put out of your way.
