I am in the market for an embroidery machine. Since I am new to the embroidery scene, I was wondering if anyone could comment on the machines I have researched. I have seen the Baby Lock Sophia model and read about the Brother LC6800 and the Janome 200E. Do you have any preferences? Also, do you think it would be better to buy the machine from a local vendor where I can get some instruction or on line (where the cost is a little less, but no instruction). I am an experienced sewer and I don't want a machine that is too difficult. Thanks for all your help.
