I have a singer serger.... works great for my needs.. never a problem.. but those ( all I understand ) is a booger to thread!
I have a brother embroidery machine and love it.. but one thing I would do differently is I'd get a better detailed screen, and I'm get one that coudl make bigger diesgns.. (mine only will do 4z4 and I'd really like it to do at least a 5x7 as well....
