I just purchased a brother PE-770, and have no clue what I'm doing yet, and am a little apprehensive about starting anything. I've read alot of the posts here, until I got a little googly eyed, but am learning lots of info. I, too, wish this thread had its own forum; it would be alot easier to sort through stuff. Anyway, am looking forward to reading and learning more--maybe even enough to play with my machine
