New Brother Products 2011-2012 Convention

It has been a day of information gathering. Karen sending back texts.. as she was trying to take notes and listen to all the speakers. The text's were being de-coded, we tried to put together the information in a blog post form..
Then  all of a sudden Susan mentioned that last year Brother launched some of the info on the Brother Site just after the announcement at Convention. 
Well .. we checked and yes a little after 12:00 noon the Brother Sewing Site had changed..  A wealth of information.  Not all the information.. but a goodly amount to absorb this afternoon. 
So we begin to put together what we know..  There is plenty we don't know for sure but here is what we do know.. 

Above is the photo taken from the Brother Intro for the Quattro2 6700D

But if you would like to head over to the Brother Quattro2 pages.. here is the link..  We do know that there will be upgrades for the Original Quattro.


Next.. it seems the Laura Ashley will be entering the sewing/embroidery combo category.
