Brother CS6000i Review

The Brother CS6000i makes it possible to create professional looking sewing and quilting projects without breaking the bank.

Extensive range of 60 built-in stitches, the LCD display makes it clear which stitch has been selected and also the stitch length where applicable.

Stitches:

• 20 decorative stitches
• 20 garment stitches
• 6 heirloom stitches
• 7 quilting stitches
• 7 auto-buttonhole styles

Designed with the beginner in mind the CS6000i has an excellent manual that quickly helps you get to grips with machine. Needle threading is done automatically with the press of a lever and step by step diagrams make threading and bobbin winding a breeze.

One area where improvements could be made is with the lighting for the work area, this can be remedied by fixing an external light focused on your work if necessary.

The oversized table makes sewing and quilting much easier, quilters will find the large table,walking foot and quilting foot useful when manoeveuring multiple layers of material.

Brother have also supplied a large number of feet to get you started and this is a nice surprise when compared with similar priced sewing machines, all this and you also have the Brother 25 year limited warranty.

The light weight and size make it a good choice for those who often transport their sewing machine to classes and the hard protective case will also help keep it safe.
