I got a Brother NX2000 Laura Ashley model!

Congratulations on your new machine! I can't wait to see all the fantastic things you'll make with it.

Congratulations on the new machine! Would love to see pics when you get her/him set up!

I just watched the video and looked it up on other sites. Really a cool machine. I'm happy for you. I have decided your comparison to cars is the most appropriate for thinking about machines. Everyone has different criteria, budget, and preconceived notions of what is "good". I'm glad you found just the right model for you.

Congratulations on your new addition to your family! I bet you will be over the moon happy when you sit down in front of your sewing machine for the first time today. Post some pictures of your new baby!

I absolutely love mine. Only thing is I wore off the pictures on the buttons.

I certainly do!!! Not long ago, I brought an old workhorse to a dealer near my DD's house.. this guy worked with his Dad in the sewing industry for many years (industrial) and can fix anything.. he and my DH got to chatting and with their combined knowledge of "machinery"... I had lots of time to try out ALL of the Brother machines he had..right there ready to sit down with.. a great place.. I might add he only sells Brother and Juki...I have only ever had Husq. Elna Singer and Janome machines... so it was a surprise to find how fabulous these Brother machines ran.. I asked about them, having heard nothing but bad things up til' then about them..
He explained that the Brother of today is NOT the Brother of years ago, which were not great.. It's the only machine he will sell because of affordable pricing and performance.. I ended up with an Innovis80,,, (didn't need anything,, but could not help myself,, just had to own a Brother..LOL it's a wonderful machine and I use it a lot!!)

Anywhooo,, I walked over to the Laura Asheley machine and commented on the "name" being a draw:)... He explained that the LA is up there and above the Designer's...(Husq, my model is from 2000 and still does better embroidery than my friend's Elissimo)... for much less money..
So all that being said...you've got yourself a winner I think.. ENJOY.. and be sure to read EVERY page of the info that comes with and use it all... You'll enjoy being able to do so much with this one machine...Good Luck.. Hugs, B

Congrats!!! Getting a new "baby" is so much fun!!!

I don't personally have one of those that I can speak on, but I've had Brother machines in the past and they are wonderful!

Can't wait to see what you create!

Brother machines are great....just ask me, I have 5 of them. Congratulations on your new machine...have fun with it.

Congrats on the new machine! Isn't it wonderful and exciting to get something new for our quilting addiction! I'm getting a new Oliso iron (Christmas present to myself) and I can't wait for it to come in!

Not that that was a decision maker, but still....all I have looked at and that is a standard feature in most others. It was noisier than the Brother and the panel was harder to see than the Brother. And Brother has metal inner parts like the gears as opposed to plastic, so that was a plus. Ot was a bit over my budget, but since my husband wants a tonneau cover for his truck and and a few other reasons, he was very quick to say ok to the price! But it is my christmas present and my b-day is in January so I don't figure I'll get anything then, but that's fine! I hope this machine is as happy as it makes me! I trade in my Singer on it...was not very happy with it all these 3 years but I paid $500 for it three years ago and they gave me $400 trade in value so...I ain't complaining! Anyone have one? What's your comments on it?

Congrats on your new machine! You're going to love it! I've never had a Pfaff but my Husqvarna was so noisy that the first few times I used it I thought I couldn't stand it...it was so noisy. My new Brother is probably the quietest machine that I've ever had...and I've had plenty. Its even quieter then my Janome 7700 was.
