I have a Brother CS6000i and I love using it. :) I've had it for about six months and the only problem I have had is that it is very hard to quilt a full size quilt because the opening between the needle and the machine is very small. It looks like both of your posibilities has more space than mine. It pieces very nicely, and mine came with all the necessary feet including the walking foot for quilting. I love the needle down feature and the needle threader is a life saver! It's also very light and easy to transport. Good luck deciding. I don't think you will be unhappy with either choice.

I know in Canada my singer dealer said there are no new parts being made for the Walmart machines. We have one here and a tooth is broke on a gear and they don't make parts. Check first to see if they have replacement parts for the machine that you are buying.

My Walmart is moving some machines out because they are going to be bringing new ones in. So they are really marked down for clearance and one is the Brother 80 stitch that is normally 199.99.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Brother-80...chine/14237606
It is marked down to 154.00.
There is also the Brother Project Runway which normally sells for 149.00. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Brother-50...chine/14237605
Marked down to 109.00
Which one is the best deal. I'm leaning toward the 80 stitch due to the table it comes with. But, the Project Runway is consumer's Digest Best Buy and would save me a few dollars when money is tight.
Oh right now I have a 10 year plus Baby Lock Proline with like 20 stitches. Never ever had a problem with it, I just want one that does a bit more and it is time to upgrade.
Thanks for any input.

I have a Brother machine from Walmart and it has really been a great machine. Haven't had any trouble with it. I think I paid $250 for it a few years ago. Sews much better than some of the Singer's I've had, and they were much more pricy.

The SQ9000 comes with a 1/4" foot, but I bought the Brother 1/4" piecing foot with a guide.
It really helps me to get an accurate 1/4" seam.
