Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I will give a more extensive review when I am not on my phone. 🙂 For the price, this machine cannot be beat! It offers features not available in most lower-priced machines. It offers nearly 60 decorative stitches. Best feature? Well, more than one, but the start/stop AND speed control right on the front of the machine is awesome! Being able to control the stitch speed without stepping on a foot pedal is FANTASTIC. This machine also offers a needle threading function, which is great for folks like me who don't see as well as they used to. If I had to find a flaw, it would be in bobbin winding. Perhaps it is just my machine, but the bobbins often don't wind very well. I've tried Brother brand and others, but they are all the same. They seem to not go all the way to the top without a little help from my finger. I've even had one overfill and break. Kinda weird. But I'll live with it for the rest of the features. Mine didn't come with the table extension, so I guess different years offer a few different options. I can not recommend this one enough. If you are getting a first machine for someone, get this one. With all these features, it will help assure there is joy in the sewing process instead of frustration. Many people have had trouble with the tension. It is usually the bobbin causing problems, and improper threading usually the cause of the problem. It can cause bird-nesting of thread on the back of your fabric. I made a short phone-cam video about threading the bobbin which I hope might help someone. That little silver lever cannot be overlooked! Overall, I love the CS6000i.
