I need to get a quilting foot for my brother and I can not find one locally ANYWHERE. I have looked everywhere, and there arent dealers around here. Do you get them online, and if so, where do you get them at? Thanks!! Stef |

This is a link to the accessories page of Brother's online sales. You click on your model number, and the available accessories should pop up. I haven't purchased anything from them, but just thought I would let you know about the site. The prices for my Brother PC 6000 are quite reasonable. brothermall.com (http://www.brothermall.com/accessory.asp?dept_id=45) Take care,
Donna |

Be careful buying on Ebay. I purchased a foot that was supposed to the a "geniune Bernina foot" and it was in a import box! I know several others who have done the same. If at all possible, try to order one through Brother. It is much better for your machine and you don't want to risk damage, you just have too much invested.

Steph, Some places to buy presser feet - www.creativefeet.com www.clotilde.com www.nancysnotions.com I have purchased from all of these websites and can vouch for their customer service and delivery. I have been very pleased over the past 5 years of doing business with them. . Marty

Besides the sites mentioned, I have bought from All Brands online, I have never had a problem with my purchases from them. Matter of fact if I have found the same item cheaper somewhere else I have emailed them only to have them drop their price to me to match the online competitor.

Stef, as others have said beware of online purchases. You may get several good deals before you get burned or it may be on the first time. Where are you going to go for service and help once your local dealers are out of business because you bought everything online. This is why it is getting harder and harder to find dealers esp. in rural areas. Nearly any local dealer will match any price you find if he's not already at that price. Where are you in Ark? I can probably direct you to a nearby dealer that will have the feet. There are a number of dealers all over the state(it doesn't have to be a Brother dealer to stock Brother parts). Have fun or don't do it, Tom

I had checked Allbrands but I didn't see any feet listed. They're under "sewing equipment" then "sewing accessories" at AllBrands. Here's a link. http://www.allbrands.com/products/abc0129.html There's a sub-category for Brother machines, and they have a very large selection of feet there. |

Oh good. That is a good place to fill the gap with true Brother/whaever accessories when you're too remote to get them from a dealer. I've bought plug ins there for the Monogram Wizard Plus because at the time there were no Okla.dealers. They too are listed in a remote spot and you have to hunt for them.

I just wanted to point out that not all Brother feet fit all Brother machines. Make sure the feet you buy are appropriate for your machine.
Take care,

She must be on the mend!!! Don't know that I've ever thought about having more than 2 feet. Wonder what it would feel like to maybe have 4 feet to walk around on?  Hmmmm! I trip over the 2 I already have; can't imagine having 2 more to trip over.  Patsy Patsy
