Thanks everyone for your comments and congrats! I am so happy with the purchase. I pick it up today. Glad to hear so many good things about Brother. Makes me feel good about my choice! I often have buyers remorse...thinking "what if..." or "was it the right one".. etc. So I appreciate the cheers! I'll post some pics and let you all know how it works! Right off I am going to like it as is quiet. That Pfaff was so loud and my Singer is almost as loud especially with the walking foot! That alone is a huge plus! Thanks everyone!
