It only has the capability to do a 4x4 design, the screen is very small and hard to read, it is all black does not show the different colors. I have the Brother 6 needle and the Brother 1250D and love the reliability of Brother machines. The 1250D does not have a color screen either and I find it hard to read it. None of the Brother smaller machines have a color screen. If it were my choice I'd save up for a machine with a 5x7 embroidering field. The Brother machines are great and easy to learn.
