I have that machine and love it. The only problem I had was the timing belt slipping after FMQing a large quilt. A local repair shop fixed it for free because it was less than a year old so still under warranty. I did not buy the machine at this shop but they were great anyway.

This is a wonderful machine with lots of extras! You'll love the push button sewing option. I've yet to use the pedal. This was suppose to be a back-up machine for me, but I often use it. It's well worth the money, you won't regret it. I ordered mine from Amazon also.

I have this machine and 3 other brothers...It sews well and is light to take to classes if that is a need. I use it primarily for piecing when my others are tied up for other projects...but it was good enough to lead me to 3 other brothers. Hope this is a help.
I got mine at Walmart with the sewing table and walking foot.

I purchased this machine in early October from Amazon for $147.54. I really enjoy quilting with it. I especially like all of the quilting accessories that came with the machine. So far, no problems. I love it, love it, love it.

My sister has this machine and paid $199 for it at Walmart. There is a newer model that works the same as this that is also within that price range. I would check out your local WM before I bought and paid shipping. Personally, I think you can find that machine for less.

I have this machine and have used it a lot in classes and when I travel. It is light-weight and mine came with additional feet, the attachable table, and a cover. I have a more expensive machine that I use at home or when quilting as it has a bigger arm opening and is heavier, but the Brother has been terrific for piecing and quilting small items. I got mine through Amazon and have not been disappointed! The only problem I had was figuring out the automatic needle threader. When I took it to a dealer he said it was fine, just be sure to push the up/down needle button once and it will set the needle in the correct place to thread. (Who knew?) I would go for it!

I have had this machine for almost 3 years and use it almost every day. I am pleased with it.

I have this machine for 3 years. LOVE IT!! The only issue I have had is the needle threader. I just don't use it. Great for quilt bee or just quilting at home.

I have owned this machine for over 3 years and quilt on it 95% of the time. I take it to retreats or sew-in too. The only problem that I have had is the bobbin winder feature, but I use a bobbin buddy unit so I don't have to worry with it. It sews great and it will sew thru 4 to six layers fairly good. I use my quarter foot on the machine and have to change to Option "01" each time I start, or I break a needle hitting the quarter foot. I bought my unit at Walmart for under $150 with all the attachments, extension bed and cover for machine.

That is my go to class and charity quilting. I am so happy I have it. I bought it after loving my Brother 1500s that I use on a New Joy frame to quilt and it does a terrific job of piecing too. Both are great machines.
