 Great machineNov 21, 2009
This is a great machine! Especially for people who just want to sew a little, but don't want to waste their time with tension settings etc. It would probably be great for any kind of sewing.

I recently purchased this machine to replace a Singer. My first use of this machine was hemming a pair of jeans. It has absolutely no problem going through three thicknesses of fabric. Looking forward to using it for many years to come.
Awesome machine, I'm glad I made a really good choice!Nov 18, 2009
I recently decided to learn sewing, so I came to Amazon, did some research on machines and after looking at quite a few, I decided this one appeared to be what I needed. It struck me as a machine that would be good for a beginner, but also have all the features I would need once I was at intermediate or advanced levels so I wouldn't need to get another one for a while. I also wanted something at a mid-price range, not one of the really cheap ones below $100, but also not in the 300-500 dollar range.
Since I had never tried sewing with a machine before in my life, I signed up for a few sewing classes at Joann's and had my first class last Saturday. It was great that they let you bring your own machine to the class, since I didn't even know how to put the thread through the machine. Once I got there, there was another lady who had bought her machine the day before and she was going on and on about how much research she had made and how great her machine was. But, as the class proceeded, it became clear that lots of thing my machine did automatically, such as putting the thread through the needle, sewing backwards, raising the needle, etc., had to be done manually with her machine. Even changing the needle and little foot by the needle were incredibly easy tasks to do with my machine and she seemed to struggle with hers. By the end of the class, I was really happy I had chosen this maching. Having someone else with another machine helped me realize how much easier mine was to operate and set up.
At the next class, which was today and with another teacher, I was told by the teacher that I had a really good and nice to work with machine.
So, here are my thoughts:
PROS
- light-weight and easy to carry around
- comes with a hard cover included
- needles included are German-made and of great quality
- comes with all the accessories you need for quilting, etc.
- incredibly easy to set up, thread (there's actually a drawing of how the thread is supposed to go around the machine, all you have to do is follow it, really dummy-proof!), change accessories, etc; easy to operate in general.
- really nice and large selection of different stiches, about 60 of them
- beginner friendly
- has all the features an advanced user needs (the only thing it doesn't do is embroidery). I don't believe I will need another machine until this one breaks.
CONS
- I haven't run into any yet! :)
Good luck and happy sewing!

Regular Price at Walmart $159Nov 13, 2009
I just placed my order at Amazon. Unfortunately, I didn't look around a lot and today I saw it on line at Walmart for $159...this being their regular price. It's dissappointing that Amazon shows it as regularly over $400. What gives? There's no way this should be allowed. I'd like to see where it sold for that price and doubt it ever did...hardly seems legal to state these things.

 :((((Nov 11, 2009
I was so excited when my brother cs6000i arrived on a Friday afternoon. I thought it would be great to catch up on hemming my daughters' hems on her shorts that I had been needing to do. I thought this was the perfect machine to try out one of the nifty decorative electronic stitches. Couldn't even get 1/4 of the way without an error message. So took out my work and thougth I just needed some practice on a scrap piece...Continued to get error message...And the machine kept locking up....I then proceded to break one needle and then bent 2 more. So I changed out 3 needles all in one day.....I thought it had to be me, as no sewing machine could possibly give me so much trouble. I wasn't about to give up. I continued with various decorative stiches and each time I got E5 error message...I called the manufacturer and after they had my name number where I lived, and a zillion other questions they finally told it needed servicing...When I get something brand new, I expect it to function like a new machine...Sadly, I sent it back......Amazon was great however!
