Hi there, if you go to the search at the top of the page & type in sapphire you can see where we have had previous discussions. My machine is the 870..... it's best feature is that it has a 10" harp (opening) area. If I had the money I'd put it into a Bernina or a Pfaff. I have had the Husqvarna Lily 540 for 10 years and it's great for regular sewing. My best advice to you, is take some samples with you to the different shops & try out the machines doing exactly what you want it to do. I wish I'd taken a little more time, as I'd really like to have a nicer alphabet, I find mine doesn't always make the smoothest lettering.
