Here is the link to the embroidery machine thread where folks chat about different machines, stabilizers, and threads.
http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...un-t32969.html I read this last week because I'm looking at the Brother PE 770 embroidery machine and I've never used an embroidery machine before. There is lots of information in that thread. You can also do a search for your Brother machine model numbers to see if there are any other threads discussing those machines.
