Brother PE 770 emb. Machine comments please
Does anyone have this machine? I'm trying to decide between the Brother machine or a Bernette 340. Any help would be appreciated. I don't have any experience with embroidery. Thanks so much...Dianna

I would get the PE770. I have one and it is a really good machine for the price.
It's easy to use, you can download tons of designs and put them on a flash drive, then plug it into the machine.
I bought extra hoops, it comes with a 5x7 hoop. I and an extra 5x7 (most common on I use so this comes in handy having two), and a 12x5 one.
I bought mine from Joe at this store...

Customer service is wonderful, he answered all my questions before I decided to buy.

Don't have the PE-700 but my brother embroidery machine does a lovely job and is very user friendly. I haven't heard too many things about the bernettes, Brother is a very reliable solid product, my choice would be brother

I have the first embroidery machine that Bernina sold. I paid $1800 for it with my employee discount. It has worked well for me for almost 20 years. I purchased thousands of dollars worth of software for it over the years and I can no longer get replacement hoops for it etc. I purchased the Brother PE78OD last year as it uses the same PES system and can also use patterns on a USB stick. I think I paid a little over $700 for it. It has bigger hoops and seems to work well. Ironically my Bernina machine was created from a Brother patent. Over the years I have used my embroidery machines a lot. I like the idea that I can have something running on the embroidery machine while I am sewing on my regular machine at the same time. Being able to load the designs into the machine from a USB stick elimantes the need for a Magic Box.
