I have a Brother Innovis 4000D & love it. DH picked it out for me, it's pretty expensive but I do alot of embroidery for craft shows, gifts, etc. It is a regular sewing machine also. It will thread your needle for you at a push of a button & cut your thread. Love the scissors button. I also get alot of free designs off the internet, but you have to be careful as some don't stitch out really great.
