There are multiple styles of feet included, such as buttonhole, overcasting, a monogramming foot, zipper and zigzag foot, a blind stitch foot and a button fitting foot. The electronic speed control lets you easily vary the speed to fit the material you’re working with. The easy bobbin winder includes a diagram printed on the top of the machine to show you exactly where to position the thread to wind the bobbin super easy.

The included oversized table makes larger projects a snap with the Brother CS60001. The larger table was designed with quilts and larger projects in mind. It gives you the additional flat space you need when working with a larger or oversized project.

Quilters, both beginners as well as experienced masters, have expressed support for this amazing Brother machine. The oversized table of the CS6000i makes it easier to feed multilayers into the feed dogs. Use the walking foot to smooth multilayers of fabric or use the quilting foot for more precise placement of your quilting stitches. The quilting guide is designed to help you keep your rows of quilting stitches spaced evenly.
