I also have a 350E and love it. My first was a brother combo and within a week, I knew that I wanted a machine that would do more and that I didn't like the combo. When i am sewing on another machine, the 350E is doing it's thing. It is simple and easy, has the USB port. You may not be that concerned about the computer but it is a nice plus. I can use cards, too. I purchased a separate hard drive to use for the embroidery cd's. Just made things simpler. 4"x4" and 5"x7" are the most utilized sizes.
