Which Brother to buy?

Karleen, I had a look at the .pdf brochure on those machines and whilst the dearer one obviously has a lot more features, I must say I was very impressed with what you get on the cheaper model.

If I where you (and obviously I'm not. LOL), I'd test drive that cheapie, have a chat to the dealer a bit and if you like the way it sews, go for it. You can do a lot with that machine. Just make sure it'll happily sew through a variety of fabrics. That's the only thing I'd be worried about with a cheaper model but apart from that, it looks great. It's got a ton of stitches that could see you out for as long as the machine sews. Lots of folks here have just an old straight and zig zag stitch machine and make beautiful creations.

Go for it. It's a great price. As I said, just give it a little test drive.

Good luck!

Dot,

I did try the model and it was very user friendly, I may go for that one to start with and if I really get into quilting or something else I can get a more expensive one and I will also know a bit more as too what options I would use, and Dh won't kill me over the price because he will see that I use it. He gets to upgrade his digital camera every year or two, so I can upgrade sewing machines. I here that it can become addicting.

I wish I knew someone here to sew with. None of my friends here are into crafty stuff.

She did say that I can do small quilting projects on it.

I hope that I will be able to take a quilting class sometime soon.

Thanks,

Karleen
