i just got the brother pe770. it does a 5x7 and works beautifully. found it on ebay. premier appliance store. i think it was 499.00.
i am not happy with the automatic threader. my sister got one at the same time and her threader fell off when unpacking it. i was careful of mine when i unpacked it, but never could gt the thing to work. mine fell off today and i'm not going to worry about putting it back. it is so simple to thread the needle so far so i'm not fooling with that thing anymore.
