Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brother CS8060 70-Stitch Function Computerized Free Arm Sewing MachineCustomer Review: A Great Lil Workhorse Summary: 5 StarsI have to say that I love my CS8060. I did a lot of looking and comparing and for the money I did end up choosing this machine. I am very happy with it. It is portable, runs very quietly, the bobbin load is easy, and the auto needle threader is great. I do enjoy that I do not have to use a foot/knee pedal on this machine. I have found the bluish light to be easy on the eyes. I have had no issues with the thread tension and I have made several blankets, quilts, quilted pillows, pillowcases. Neither the needle or the machine has had trouble handling layers of material in my quilting. The variety of pre-programmed decorative stitches is nice and gives a nice personal embellishment, especially when using metallic threads. This machine has had no problem handling metallic threads. I would recommend this machine to both the new and the experienced. Definitely a deal for the money. I found accessories (walking foot, 1/4" foot, sidecutter foot, etc.) at my quilting store.
