I have a Brother 2500D, It's a wonderful machine but I've used it only a few times in the past year. I'm more into quilting than embroidery and will sell it. It sews also but I've never used it for that, only embroidery. I have a Bernina I use for sewing. It's a nice machine and I would recommend it to anyone. Mine costs $3,500 new. Brother makes a great machine.
