I got the Brother version for the Disney characters (Quattro 2) and love this machine. If there was just one thing I would add, it would be an automatic walking foot (like my old pfaff 7510) and not one I have to add (it's big and bulky). Other than that, it has everything I could possibly want, and more. This machine is my dream machine, and it will be my last machine.
The automatic threader is far superior than any on the market, as well as the cutter. The other thing I like is that it doesn't leave bird nests on the back at the beginning of a stitch. (Every other machine I've ever had did this, including my Bernina, and it really was annoying.)
It embroiders beautifully and you do everything right off the touch screen! It truly is an amazing machine.
Now, I need to buy a "Baby Brother" so I don't have to lug this big machine around, and still have the quality, and ease of use. I'm thinking of the Melody.
Good luck and let us know what happens!
