Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For a while I was debating between getting the Brother Project Runway limited edition, XL2600i, or this sewing machine (CS6000i). Initially I went with the XL2600i but quickly canceled my order after placing the order. I changed my mind because the CS6000i model had the best reviews and it seemed easier to work with (for a beginner). I had the LS2125i for a while, but getting the thread from the bobbin through the foot was such a headache and "bobbin vomit" kept occurring. I ordered the CS6000i Tuesday morning ($155 something with tax) and received the package the next day. That was quick for Prime shipping. I was so eager to use the sewing machine after I received a notification that it was delivered and came home right away to use it. I've only made one drawstring pouch so far and am in love with this sewing machine. The instructions for winding the bobbin was easy. The manuals helped a lot. I couldn't figure out the auto threading so I did it myself, it was quicker. The machine operates pretty quietly and doesn't shake like the LS2125i. It's easy to use so far! This is definitely a good investment :-).
