ok quilting friends does anyone have this machine I need pros and cons of it looks a lot like some of the babylock machines, I did not know till recently babylock and brother machines are made by same company this has a wide bed area it does quilting and embroidery its a lot of money to spend on a hobby but they will give me 2000.00 on a trade in with my babylock espire which I think this looks like a upgrade from what I have and the lightening is great on it

Well I purchased the brother dream weaver 3000 quilting/sewing machine this week it was with great hesitation that I traded my Babylock espire that eleanoR signed for me in 2008 when I purchased it in Paducah mine was not as good as some others were had lots of problems with it that was never resolved at Babylock dealers I took it to the brother seems to be made possibly by same company but I'm loving it so far especially the lighting

so far im loving the brother dream weaver 3000 that's encouraging that you like yours also yes I bet it needs a little sharpening with the cutter
