I have the SES 2000 and love it. I like that the software all came with it and did not have to fork over another thousand for the software. I don't use it for sewing simply because I don't like using a foot pedal to sew with however I do use it for embroidery and with our ability to use any format from any sewing machine brand we are able to use it to embroider with.
These are just a few of the samples I made when first starting out using the embroidery side of it.
I plan to play with the auto-punch, photo stitch and cross stitch feature of this machine to see if I get as good results as I do with the embroidery.
