PS...I have done some test embroidery with the SE 270 and if you use the correct stabilizer, it does a beautiful job. I just can't wait to try the PED and maybe create some of my own designs...if possible. They do sell a lot of designs on ebay and you can have them emailed to you and you download them from there or you can have a CD sent that you would use in the computer with the PED. The format we use is PES for this. Just to let you know.
