Brother XL-2230 Mechanical

from bradshawcl, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: nice price, works well, just not for thicker fabrics.

from www.amazon.com
the only thing is if you do a lot of heavy duty sewing, then this machine may have trouble going through thicker fabrics.

from www.overstock.com
all in all, the brother is a good machine so far, although a bit touchy with the bobbin & botched under stitching for material a bit thicker than standard cotton.

i think that thickness was too much for the machine.
