I have a Hello Kitty 18750. Super machine. I have had no problem with it. However, I would steer away from the lower model. It's cute, yes, but so limited. I also have a Brother CS6000i. I use both of them equally well ,maybe not depending on which project is getting more attention LOL. Out of all my machines (6 at last count) I love, love, love the Brother CS6000i, but my Hello Kitty is a close runner up.
