I have an SE400 and really enjoy the little machine. I have had no problems with it. It was my first computerized machine and it was quite a wonderful upgrade for me at the time and it really helped me gather some of my love for sewing back. I use it primarily for sewing now that I have a Babylock Esante but do occasionally use the embroidery part since I can use the Disney designs on it and can not use them on my Babylock. Since I do not travel with my machines, having the extra accessories was not necessary for me. Two things.... I love the needle threader and also be sure that you have a computer nearby for transferring designs. It is very easy machine to use in my opinion. also just a note, i use metro embroidery thread in my SE400 and have had no problems. and with the numerous colors I am always wanting it was nice to use an inexpensive thread and actually have it work.


Also if you just want the machine and a small carry case, the following might be an option as it is in the mid $300 range.... http://www.amazon.com/Brother-LB6800...pr_product_top
