This machine has a lot of bells and whistles: One-step buttonhole, 60 stitches, 7 different buttonhole styles, etc. It's also got variable speeds which is nice for beginners, and comes with a package of presser feet that would cost $50 or so purchased individually.
However, my major disappointment was that it did not sew through more than 3 layers of denim without putting up a fight. The needle gets stuck in the fabric, it makes a horrible noise, and then displays an error message. Not so good if you want to do something as simple as hem a pair of jeans. Going slow or fast does not seem to make a difference. In addition, some of the fancier buttonholes (keyhole for example) look terrible.
My experience has been that if you want a computerized machine that sews through heavy material you're going to have to pay around $300. The Brother Project Runway machine goes through thick material without balking, unlike this one.

This is the first sewing machine that I have purchased. I got it for my wife for mothers day. It looks intimidating but is very easy to use after you get past the first looks and start getting your hands dirty. I have looked at others in the stores for the same price but they don't come with a hard case and extra table. For the price and all the extra bonus goodies and the ease of use this brother gets a 5 star

I paid for rush delivery for a specified date and they missed it by 5 days. If you aren't in a hurry, order from them

This is the second Brother sewing machine I have had. The first one was a cs8072 model that cost under $200.00 and worked like a dream for many years. I used it pedal to the metal every day and it finally wore out. I plan to take it in for service to see if it can be saved...but in the meantime, I ordered the cs6000i and it arrived in less than a week. It is very much like my last one but came with a quilting foot,a walking foot and a large platform! Great in all aspects. I also love the needle threader and free arm for small areas. For the money these little computerized Brothers far exceed my expectations! I suggest if you do have any problems, please read your owners manual, and use good needles and good quality thread.

I purchased this same model 3 years ago this month. It cost about $50.00 more, but I couldn't be happier. I use it daily. I'm an avid sewer. I recently made window curtains. I mostly use it for staight stitching, but the buttonholer is easy to use, as are all the special feet, the instruction booklet is user friendly and the staff at Brother International is very helpful if you need extra parts or have any questions.
