I got a Brother NX2000 Laura Ashley model!

[coffeebreak]

After lots of online research, I went to the only dealer near me.. looked and tried the Pfaffs, and didn't like them at all! I moved on to Brother and loved the Innovis NX2000 Laura Ashley model and LOVED IT! I get it tomorrow. I was totally shocked that the Pfaff didn't have the auto thread cutter! 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?

I do not have one, but I wanted to let you know I agree with what you said about the Pfaff's. They are noisy!! My sisters, who has a newer model, sounds like a steam engine going down the tracks!

I just gifted my former backup Brother to a friend at work and pulled her out for a good clean last night. Yes, she purred like a kitten. Enjoy your new machine.

I was shocked at that. I thought the higher priced machines were sure to be quieter! But it wasn't. It was just the instant turn off kind of thing. Last time I was turned off so immediately like that was when I was out of high school, buying my first car.... 1976.. I LOVED that AMC Pacer car! SOOOOOOO CUTE...looked like a little bubble and just perfect and what I wanted. I had to have IT so when I went to buy a car...the AMC dealer was the first one I went to and opened the door of that Pacer...and thought I was opening the door to a bank vault! It was the heaviest thing and clumsey and just a total turn off. I didn't even drive the car! I ended up getting a Datsun!

I have an Innovis 450Q....not sure how that compares to yours, but I love my Brother...going to start saving for another one.

That sounds great! So glad you got such a lovely Christmas/birthday gift! In 1976, my Well used Kenmore broke right before Christmas. I remember my husband and I looking at Bernina machines. Never in my wildest dreams would I think one would end up under the tree for Christmas that year, but it did! I'll never forget that beautiful box wrapped so pretty! I loved that present probably more than any I ever got! Still have the machine as back up 38 years later!

Enjoy your new machine!
