I went out last night and bought myself a new embroidery machine. I got a Brother PE750D. I love it. It is so much faster than my walmart one and it has a bigger hoop which is why I bought it. I'll post a pic of it later. My old machine starting acting up so I took it in to be fixed and he told me that he couldn't guarantee it because it was all plastic. It was a great starter machine for me and I probably wouldn't have gotten hooked on embroidery without it. But now that I have found out how much I like embroidery I just had to upgrade and the new one has steel on the inside so it should last a long time. I also can trade it in if I decide to upgrade again.
