I went from home machines to commercial ones
I started out with a BabyLock when the only sewing field in the industry you could buy was a 4x4. Then I went to a Brother 8200, upgraded to an 8500 and then bought a 15 needle SWF embroidery machine 10 years ago. I'm on my second SWF machine and I love it! I've digitized with Brother software, Compucon and now use Sierra Expert software. I make gifts for family and now I'm starting to add embroidery designs to quilts I make.
