    Just got this machine and you did a great job explaining the basics plus having a visual is a definite must for me. Your demeanor is calming , reassuring and you don’t use any verbal fillers ( no “Um’s”or “likes”. Very clear and concise. Really appreciate your channel. Just subscribed! Thanks again!

    Hi Jen! I’ve just purchased the Brother 7000i. It’s out of the box and ready for me to begin sewing. I had a Brother 8450 and it gave me such apprehension I never sewed a stitch. I’ve also owned a very old White and a Kenmore with cams. I wore out the Kenmore! Enjoyed it immensely and turned out clothes for everyone in our household.
    Your demonstration was very easy to follow. It did make me want to pop to my sewing room and get started even after midnight! Thanks! I’ll watch more tips on this machine and fashioning fabric.

    I am so thankful to have found your videos. I have always sewn by hand and decided to buy this machine after watching your very informative videos. Setup was easier than I could have imagined. My first use consisted of mending 7 pieces of my “holy” clothing while taking a break from writing. Looking forward to doing more with this machine. For those looking for a great machine for beginners - I highly recommend. If I can do it anyone can - I have never used a sewing machine in my 49 years of living. Don’t be intimidated.

    Sewing Report Thank you so much for this series on the Brothers CSi6000-7000 series.
    I’ve been machine sewing for 50+ years. This is my first computerized machine. I have a heavy duty machine and a Baby Phat serger. I chose this machine for supposed “ease of learning and use”. I’m feeling a little anxious about learning and operating properly. I really love sewing & crocheting. I think you’re just the person I need to get me up and running with confidence. The machine is shipping now. Wish everyone success 🥇🌟.

Show us different machines in different price classes. Do a comparison... there are so many people that wants a new machine but dont know which one is good. It took me like months to do research and look for machine reviews to finally decide.

    I’ve been using a CS6000i for 1-1/2 yrs now & I rewatched this + the one on presser feet. I definitely agree with Brother’s quality for these economical machines. I wish there was an adjustment for presser foot pressure (for heavy fabrics, multiple layers, thick batting, etc.) but I guess being able to drop the feed dogs is good enough. Your advice (& Leah Day’s) on the FMQ foot is essential-viewing for quilters in my opinion. My wife & I have an old Brother LS-217, too, and it’s 100% mechanical action seems to stitch more strongly through tough fabrics. However, all the functions of the CS series make it easy for beginners to stay enthused. It’d be great to have a wider throat space for quilts but for
