which one did you get? my sister and i got the brother pe770 with the 5x7 hoop. it is so much fun. i have been playing with it so much. found a pattern for a marine emblem and made my boss a few for a going away gift and have made some for other people. i am starting to work on a double wedding ring for my mother (cheryl phillips way) and got some quilting patterns that i'm going to put in the center. the practice one i did turned out great! and there are so many quilting designs available if you want to get really fancy. your going to enjoy it so much
