I bought a brother pacesetter, it does both sewing and embroidery. I use it only for embroidery and it is a work horse in that area, it came with lots of feet that I don't have on my other machine but still only use it for embroidery. I use it to make all my quilt labels and to do towels for gifts and all my other designs. It was well worth the money and cheeper then most of the others.
