I have the Husqvarna Topaz 20 - they are Topaz 25 now. But it cost almost $2,000.00. That is before thread and an embroidery program. It is the program that gives you the versatility in designs. My friend got the Brother PE770. She loves it - and she found a program for around $100.00. I would recommend you find a thread package with a nice variety to start otherwise buying one color at a time you are paying top dollar.
