I have 2 Brothers. 1 is also a embroidery machine (Project Runway), my DH bought me and the other is a Project Runway, I bought off Shopinggoodwill for 15 dollars because I like Brothers and it was light wait and smaller to take to classes. What a surprise, it worked great. I also have a simplicity quilter. I have a Juki mid-arm on a quilting frame. We are over run with antique and vintage machines, which we both use a lot. I guess it is personal taste,but I wouldn't trade my Brothers!
