Heads up. Make sure which ever machine you are looking at will embroidery the size you want. I know some of the cheaper ones only do a 4x4 design (I had one). Best wishes. LOL in Christ.

It uses the same format PES as my current machine and I think I can download designs onto a USB stick and use it with that model machine. I just wondered if any of you owned one and how you liked it. My Bernina dealer tried to talk me into buying a combination machine. I don't need another sewing machine and I didn't want ot spend $6000. Any information would be wonderful.
