[QUOTE=Love angels;5144363]Wow what a great thread. I have been reading for hours now. hehehe I have learned so much. I have Brother SE400, have only done a few things on it. I love doing FSL I guess I am not motivated to play much because it is such a small emb. area. I really would love to get a machine with bigger embroidery area. I see several of you have purchased used machines. Do you go through your local dealer or private? If private what is a good way to make sure you are getting a good machine? With the expense I a
m kind of scared to go with a private seller. Thank you for this thread. It is a big help.[/QUOTE
I have the same machine and do not plan to go bigger. I bought mine on amazon for 310 dollars and it does a good job. the designs are big enough for me and a person can do continuos designs and a lot of different ideas for making a design look larger. i am not one to complain, but this machine does not have speed control button for embroidery but it does for regular sewing. no biggie i guess.
jjmmhh
