Brother Sewing Machine - Computerized - CS6000i Reviews

This is a great machine for bringing to classes or to keep in an RV. At 10 pounds it packs many sophisticated features under the hood.

Easy to thread, easy to operate and access the many built-in stitches.

This Brother CS6000i is a good workhorse... I really enjoy working with it, especially because it is lightweight and can carry it from room to room.. I like the idea of the extra bobbin holder and the needle threader, for the older people that use a machine... the buttons on the machine are easy to understand and the directions are ok..the only negative I can think of is how to oil the machine, and to replace the lightbulb.. there isn't anyting in the manuel for that.. so what can I do to find out those answers???  the machine is easy to change the needles... I change them according to the fabric...

I never had such a sewing machine as my Brother cs6000i! At first I was afraid of computerized sewing machines but this one took care of those fears.

this is super machine.....i have had it for awhile and everything is great.....made about 10 quilts.....great buy......

I researched sewing machines for several months, both online and in consumer research magazines. This machine perfectly fit my needs.  I wanted a machine that I could sew, learn to embroider, and also learn to quilt, all with the same machine. I did not want or need the top of the line machines rated best by Consumer Reports, nor could I...

I purchased the Brother CS6000 in 2006 from Wal-Mart and so far all I have been able to accomplish is a few mending projects. The machine is made for people with tiny nimble fingers. The glare from the LED light hitting the chrome parts makes it near impossible to see what you are doing. The operating instruction book is not well organized and incomplete. Heavy duty sewing is out of the question. For light material sewing, no matter how you set the pressure, material wanders and stitches bind preventing forward movement of material. I have been sewing for years and this machine is very aggravating....
