The Brother I bought is around $500. Compared to many of the other Embroidery/Sewing machines, Brother one is $5,000!
Babylock starts around $4500 - $9,000, Bernina has their top of the line for a car payment so to speak $13,000!
I got an inexpensive one to see if I like doing Embroidery first, if I want to do the larger patterns, I can save up for a higher cost machine.
