All I really know is that it has embroidery capabilities w/ 3 different sized hoops & all of the frills that I have on my Brother. Want to know what those of you who have the same machine think about it. I value your opinions. Marge L
I love the Designer I, it is a real work horse. It doesn't have the 10" throat like the newer machines. I also have the Designer SE, the Topaz 30 and the Diamond. I don't use the embroidery unit on the D-I anymore since I have the other machines, but it is a great machine. It takes the floppy discs for embroidery, may be hard to find them. If you get it and want some designs, PM me and you can have some of mine.
