I have the Brother Innovis 1250D, sewing/embroidery combo and I just love it, never had any problems with it. I also have three other Brother machines, QC1000, SQ9000 which I bought at Wal-Mart to take to classes and a PR620 6 needle embroidery machine. I have never had any issues with any of these machines, the learning curve is very easy and they are easy to maintain.
