My 2 cents:
I bought a Brother CS6000i this Summer. It was 179.95 through
Walmart. They delivered to my home in 2 days for 99 cents shipping.
Google it for current offers from various distributors. It weighs 10
pounds.
Since I do quilting, I liked the accessory pack that was included n
the price. This may not be of value to you. I Reviewed many machines
n line. The main complaint with this machine is thread getting
tangled. The BEST advice I read was "Just re-thread it. I know you
think you did it right, but do it over." On the few occasions that I
had thread tangle, I simply re-threaded and it was OK.

Hi,
My small light portable machine has developed problems beyond the
easily fixable. It's an older Brother. I've gone looking at the
more expensive machines, but am thinking that now is not the time.
I have an old Kenmore that does the bulk of my straight or zig zag
stitching, but I recently got to play with a machine that has lots
of fancy stitches and I liked them. I also want a machine that can
go places. Yeah, I have indeed taken a sewing machine to a SF con
and sewed in my room.
I've found two online that are possible, a Singer (http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat3199&PRODID=xprd872794&utm_source=Joann&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Prd10&utm_content=HTML&utm_campaign=EML20081109-D&rId=EML20081109-D
) and a Brother http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11222787&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=&lang=en-US&s=1
Between Brothers and Singers, any opinions which are better?
Thanks,
