Brother CS6000i Sewing and Quilting Machine

4.7 stars, 19,192 reviews

$210

With almost 14,000 five-star reviews, this sewing machine was compared by one reviewer to a “friendly sewing robot.” Hundreds of purchasers say it is ideal for those new to sewing as well as hobbyists — it “fits right in between that beginner and intermediate level,” explains one. Many cite its value, ease of use, and lightweight but sturdy feel, and fans love the ease of the drop-in bobbin; one notes that the “bobbin is a dream to wind and insert.” Amid the hundreds of users who talk about how fun this machine is to use, one promises that this Brother will help users find “joy in the sewing process instead of frustration.” And along with the many first timers, dozens of reviewers also write about their experiences returning to sewing on this machine, like the not-atypical user who says, “I had not touched a sewing machine in 30 years, but having recently become semi-retired, find myself with extra time on my hands and decided to try sewing again. I am a novice seamstress, so I only needed a simple machine … I am totally impressed with everything about the machine. Set-up and instructions for use were clearly explained, and it worked like a charm, even going through thick portions of material easily.”
