My husband convinced me to go for the SE in 07....I've never regretted it even though the price was much more then I would have ever pd.
I've been embroidering and quilting every day since...I invested at the same time in the Professional 4D software where you can take a photo and translate into stitches..did a Family tree quilt with stitched family photo's...Can also make up your own designs, edit designs and allot more...
Enjoy...
