I have a Brother PE770 embroidery machine. It does a great job and I have no complaints, but if I had it to do over, I would definitely choose one with a color screen and a little larger screen than I have. It is impossible to see some of the design breakdown on my smallish, b&w screen. Other than that, I've been happy with mine. My secondary advice is to stick with an embroidery only machine so that you can continue to sew while your emb designs stitch out.
