Husqvarna Viking SE which they don't make anymore but you can get second hand...Better then the newer models...I bought it since the software Professional 4D and 5D enable me to scan a photo and then stitch out...I did a family history quilt going back to the 1800's using photos of family members from that era all stitched out and it's gorgeous....So that's the main reason I bought that machine due to it's capabilities...Also if you have artistic abilities you can draw something into a special pad and transform that into stitches...on and on...more then I can list
