Patsy, my old machine, serves me well. She never failed to do what I asked within her capability. She is still with me and, even in retirement, will still have a role to play here in Hooper Land. Patsy is a Janome 6260.
Enter Sophie, my new Brother DreamCreator XE. I began my search for the new machine and quickly became confused by all the varied options and sales hype. I visited every dealership in Huntsville, Alabama, and listened to why their machines are "the best in the industry." By the time I had all the literature from my search, the notes I had taken, and considered every option I was more confused than when I started. I was no closer to a decision. So I decided to clear the board and concentrate on a different method of choosing.
With everything considered, I decided that my top criteria should be service, classes, and overall dealership attitude. After all is said and done the dealership will be key to my success. The Brother dealership is by far the leader based on my criteria. If I have problems, questions, or "need anything" I feel certain their support will there for me. Last evening I attended the first of the classes for my machine. The instructor was really attentive to all attending. The class was at ease and open. Great experience.
I test drove Viking, Janome, Singer, Bernina, BabyLock, Brother, and a couple of others. Some were out of my price range so they were eliminated. Brother is by far the most customer oriented dealership that I visited.
This is probably more info that anyone wanted. I do encourage anyone buying new equipment to consider the dealership and service availability.
