I bought that same machine on Ebay 1 year ago. My first embroidery machine. It is great. Very easy to use. When I got it it didn't work. Brought it in to a Brother dealer and the belt had come off during shipping. That wasn't a big deal to me because I planned to bring it in for a service job anyway. It was a bit nerve wracking first thinking it was badly broken. All turned out well. Use it for small crafts also. To personalize things though you will need the BES computer system. The
fonts that come with the machine are to small if y0u want a bigger font.
