I also have the 350, and I love it. It's easy to use, lots of stitches, nice and quiet. Also, the 800 help # is always answered by someone who knows whats going on, which was a big help to me when I first got the machine!

Don't have either machine but I have a general comment about the embroidery feature: When the machine does the embroidery, will you be content to sit there and watch it work? I had originally wanted an embroidery machine and realized that I would still need a "regular" machine to do the sewing. Just a thought.....

That is a good point Martina! I will have to keep that in mind!
Might be something where one night is embroidery AFTER I have my projects finished, or finished to a point :)

I think I am STRONGLY leaning towards the Brother SE350 now...

Ok...I changed my mind.
I think I am going to go with the CS6000i.

I think I will get too distracted with the embroidery and I dont do enough that I require my own embroidery machine.

So I decided to save that extra money for a beautiful pair of Nine West pumps I have been walking by every morning LOL

It's funny that you brought up the brother SE-350. I just bought it and I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE IT. It does every thing my other machine doesn't do. I love the embroadering, easy to load, and easy to change threads. :) :) :)

I also just got an SE350 and I too love it!! Do you know if we can use a 5x7 frame or just the 4x4?

My frame measures 5x7 which is the medium according to the manual you can order the small and large frame so they should work on it.
