I have Brother Innovis and Brother Disney.. Brother also makes Baby lock.. What's nice about this brand is that you can take it out of the box and embroidery. Very user friendly. Whatever model you decide on it will be okay. Buy what you can afford and enjoy it. There are multiple free designs on line that you only need a 4x4 hoop for. Walmart sells the stabilizer tear away on the bolt. Also joann's and if you have a coupon you can save. Tear away is really good for almost anything you do. Press and seal saran wrap works great for putting on top of towels to push nap down. then just peel off. Have fun and don't be afraid of it...
