Brother Stellaire XJ1 vs Brother Innov-is Quattro 6000D
The XJ1 has the bigger embroidery field: 9.5 × 14 in against 8 × 12 in. Only the XJ1 has Wi-Fi.
Which should you buy?
Choose the XJ1 if you want the bigger embroidery field (9.5 × 14 in vs 8 × 12 in); or if you want to send designs over Wi-Fi instead of a USB stick; or if you want more built-in designs (727 vs 601); or if you do a lot of lettering (24 built-in fonts vs 13).
There is little reason to pick the Quattro 6000D unless you find it clearly cheaper, for example used or refurbished.
