I also have the Brother SE 350... I love it.. my only complaint is I wish I had a bigger design area. My machine can only do a 4x4 area. I have tons of free sites to get FREE emb designs.. I also have the ped basic.. which I got off Amazon....
I'm still in the early learning stages but have completed quite a few projects... from placemats/bath towels, pillow cases/ shirts/ purses/ toddler dresses/ christmas items/ quilts.
PM me if I can help..... I bought a great book ( again Amazon...... Basic Embroidery Essentials.. invaluable!)
