When you start to do free standing lace. you will get hooked on it. I had a brother 150 and I upgraded about 4yrs ago for a 2300D ULT and about a month later had a chance to get a 2100 ULT so now I have two. It is a good thing because last week my 2100 needed to go to Dr. so I got my 2300 out. these machines uses floppy disks and also card/. I haven't done to much appilque yet but I have done some Embrodiery Lilbrary has some good tips and designs. You will enjoy your machine
Have a Merry Christmas
