After owning a Husqvarna,Pfaff,Babylock and Brother I find I use the Brother the most as I have no issues with it. The Babylock is wonderful as well, but it is a dedicated machine and does not do everything. In future, I intend to buy dedicated machines so that I do not have issues with some functions not working. The Pfaff won't communicate with the computer and the only solution I am offered is to spend more money to update the software. I woud rather wait until I can buy another machine.
