    I got mine from Thomas Sewing Center in Mesquite TX. It was on sale for $999.00 and I know they sell on Amazon. Mine had problems from outta the box, but they were great and traded it for a new machine out of a new box. Whatever, you pick, ask what all extra you will need to buy to make it work, cards, designs, computer software, clothsetter and such. I love my machine and am very glad that I bought one in a shop close to me, as they give monthly classes and they are free for buying a machine there. Look into shops near you and ask if they give classes for buying there. Also ask if they do trade ins, or will give you a break on the tax. Doesn't hurt to ask, I did with good results.

    I would go for the Brother 770, too. In fact, I'm thinking of adding one to the herd even though I don't really NEED an embroidery machine. Brother makes a really nice product and I've had nothing but good luck with my Brother machines and sergers.

    I love my Brother PE700II. I believe the PE770 is the later version. Runs about $700 in my area. I bought mine refurbished and saved $100 and have had no problems with it! I also own a Brother combo machine and love it, too!

    Well, so far the majority seem in favour of the Brother PE770. I have checked for one here in Canada & all I could come up with was the Brother 780D at $1100.00 Does anyone know which model is the newest - the PE770 or the 780D? Appreciate everyone's suggestions so far.

    Try checking out a Husqvarna Viking dealer (some are located within the "Joann Fabrics" stores). They often have machines that have been brought in for trade-ups and you can find a used more up-to-date model with the full warranty. Can't hurt to check any way. Maybe some of the other dealers have the same trade-in policy. Always worth asking. Let us know what you find.....good luck!

    I have nothing but brother and Babylock machines and have never had a problem with any of them. I have a 6 needle Brother embroidery machine and the Brother PE770. I bought the PE770 for our RV and I just love it. Very easy to learn and embroiders beautifully.
