I am looking for a new embroidery machine and would input from you all. I have a Viking Diamond but am looking for something faster. I am considering maybe a 6 or l0 needle Brother's or Babylock. Does anyone have either of these and would like to tell me the pros and cons and help me make a decision?
The Diamond serves as a part-time quilting machine also along with the Viking Mega quilter and of course the Singer featherweight which I use most of the time for quilting.
I ask you because you are more honest than the sales people.
Thanking you in advance.

My sister has the PR650 by Brother and she loves it. I think there may be a later version of it. Be prepared for the prices though...they are expensive. :(

I know both are pricey, I have been saving and am ready.
What does she love about the Brother's
