 Fantastic machine, great for a beginning quilter! June 17, 2008
Jenni (Anchorage, AK USA)
I had never used a sewing machine before, and I'm glad that this was the first machine I ever used. I am just learning to quilt, and this machine has just been a breeze to use. While I'm figuring out that I'll probably never use all of the fancy stitches that it offers, it's nice that they're there in case I need them one day. I found threading it to be a breeze, and I do love the needle threader on this machine. I haven't had any problems with it at all.
Very Happy!!! June 13, 2008

I was excited when I received my new Brother Sewing Machine. Finally Ive purchased a product worth itself online. I recommend this machine to any novice sewer. It does everything I need it to do and more that I havent played with yet.
Buying your first machine? Make it THIS ONE! May 31, 2008

Like everyone else reading these reviews, this is how I ultimately chose and bought this machine-so I hope this review helps you make a choice too! It seems like every machine I looked at though had several really negative reviews (some had more than others-but the really positive reviews for this one is what eventually convinced me-so I just want to add to it!) and probably like you it made me really nervous!-the only thing I can say about that is that any product on the market has a certain number of duds (errors in the manufacturing)-in which case all you can do is return it in the allowable time. By the way-this is why I buy all of my appliances/electronics with my American Express card-they will give you your money back on any purchase (up to like $1000) if it's lost, stolen or broken (even if it's your fault it broke or the kids drop it!) within 90 days. I'm not sure if this is a benefit for all AMEX cards (though I've heard it is) so just check with your customer service ...ANYWAY... sorry about the tangent.
It really is the best buy for what you get: this EXACT SAME model is selling on [...] for $[...]! So truly don't let the low price fool you, it really is a more expensive machine selling for super cheap right here on amazon. This has everything you need, and has room to grow as you become more experienced so you don't have to go upgrade. Because I'm a beginner I first thought "I'll just buy the $[...] one with 10 stitch options because I don't know what all those stitches do anyway, and then if I really get into sewing that's cheap enough that I'll upgrade in a year or two" I'm so glad I didn't do that, I'm still just beginning but I can see how valuable having more stitch options is going to be and I've already started using some of them. (see below)
When I took it out of the box I started going through the user manual was sewing within the amount of time it took to wind the bobbin and thread the machine (the automatic threader took a couple tries but now it's a breeze) In regards to the cheap thread thing: I actually went to a licensed BROTHER dealer in town and asked about it, and they said that MOST MACHINES STRUGGLE WITH CHEAP THREAD. So my following question was "Well, what is cheap thread?" and her response was "Like, when you get 5 spools for a a dollar or two" In any case I just bought my thread at a 'real' fabric store (not like wal-mart and such places that just happen to carry fabric too) and have not had any problems WHATSOEVER-no tension problems, no bobbin problems, nothing.
My absolute favorite feature is that when you change stitches the LCD display tells you what presser foot you need to attach for that stitch!!! You don't have to refer to the user manual. It shows you the shape as well as what letter it is (J, G, M....etc. and each foot has the letter engraved on it). My second favorite thing is that because I don't have a serger yet (maybe I don't need one now!) in order to keep fabric from unraveling I've really enjoyed using the overcasting stitches with the overcasting presser foot-it's so easy. I just trim seams down and then overcast (stitch #6 is what I use)-works just as well as a serger and saves me the $$$money$$$.
Good luck and happy sewing!
I LOVE THIS MACHINE!!! May 29, 2008

I'm 25 years old. I having been sewing since I was a kid. My first machine was a viking that belonged to my great-grandmother and I loved that machine however, it came to the point where it was too old and had too many problems to merit fixing the machine. So I have been without for a few years. I decided recently to get back into sewing and shopped around for a machine and I found this one. It is a great machine!! I LOVE IT!!! It is soooooo easy to use. i was able to re-teach myself sewing very quickly. So whether you are a first timer, or an experienced sewer this machine is great because it is easy to use but also does everything you could want it to, and is very affordable!!! It is a way better machine that those comparable in price (such as the singer of the same price which I have heard is terrible). I don't know what else to say except this is a great machine and I am happy I bought it.

Brother CS6000I 60-Stitch Computerized Free-Arm Sewing Machine with Multiple Stitch Functions
super machine to use with a great results.
light weight and very well done with multiple stich functions..
I use this more than the more expenisve one I own.
I take it with me all over the place.. I travel and sew quilts.
The only draw back is the narrw opening at the top.. So you fold the quilt top and use the bigger ones for the middle part.
I am so glad I got this MACHINE. Yes, I would recomend this to a beginner or pro..
don't let the weight fool you in any way... Push button controls for operation of motion no foot pedal needed to operate!!!!
I use it all the time just think you DONOT have to use the foot pedal if you are HANDICAPPED as I an am. Need to elevate your knees or the legs?
That's right no foot pedal if you want it is so cool.......!!!!!!
wish they would make a more deluxe than this one!!!!
Thanks,Brother for great machine
Thanks, Amazon for a freat price toooo...
try it..
