I have a Brother PE150 I found at a yard sale & A Brother 270D found on Craigslist and enjoy them both as they are beginner embroidery machines with Dinsey designs. The best thing is they were cheap and I felt that if I did not enjoy doing embroidery I did not spend too much! (under $200 total for both machines). Then I just have a Babylock Melody for my regular sewing machine.
