Brother CS 6000 Computerized Sewing Machine (Refurb)

I sew almost every day. I bought my Brother as a portable/spare sewing machine and when it arrived (very promptly), I started sewing on it at home to get used to it. I haven't gone back to my more expensive model yet. It is user friendly, sews very smoothly and has a wonderful variety of stitches. Love it!

My 9 year old daughter wanted a sewing machine for her birthday. She never sewed on a machine before this one. It is so easy. We read the directions only once on how to thread the bobbin and the machine and she does it all by herself now. Great machine. Even her Father is sewing on the machine too.

I am having so much fun since purchasing this machine in September. Having sewn for 45 years on several machines, I can honestly say this is the easiest and best yet. When the box arrived I wasn't sure a machine was in it because it was so light. However, don't let that fool you. This is the first machine I have used that can go through several layers of heavy fabric with ease. I shortened heavy denim jeans, and it sailed right through without skipped stitches. And buttonholes - all you do is insert a button and sit back and watch the machine do all the work. The needle threader took some getting used to. I suggest you practice using a needle with a large eye. Once you get the hang of it you won't have trouble. The presser feet are easy to change. The LCD window tells you what foot to use for what stitch. It's an easy machine to use and so much fun.

I bought this machine a few weeks ago, and have just loved it. So far, I have sewn curtains, a dress, and started a quilt. I have not sewn for 20 years since home ec, but this machine has made it very easy. All of the features are easy to use. It feels like the machine is doing all of the work for me.
