You've already gotten some great advice and recommendations but I'll throw another one in the mix. Look at the Brother Designio 820. It's the same machine as the PE770, just dressed up a bit and it comes with more hoops and other accessories that make it well worth the higher price than the PE770. Another brand to look at is the Janomes. I have the MC200e and the MC350e and love them both.
