I also have a Brother Embroidery machine and I am very happy with it. It is a Walt Disney that I have really used in sewing for 5 little granddaughters. I have Ped that I use with it and down load patterns on the computer. THe people that I bought it from still take time to talk to me when I go into the store, and show me all the new things they are getting in. Makes you feel good when you are greeted by name as you walk into a store. Can't say that about our Bernina dealer around here.
