don't let the Disney designs stop you from considering a Brother. I have had the UTL 2002D for about 10 yrs. now. while I have used the D. designs a few times, most of what i use is from emblibrary.com. they are quality designs at an affordable price. i bought mine online and when it arrived i took it out of the box and started using it. there are some new machines that are emb. only now that have a bigger hoop(5x7 i think) that are reasonable. when you do buy, go for the biggest hoop you can afford
