I've done them every year since 2015. I always manage to learn something. They have some of the nicest and funniest reps that come to them to host. I love their designs. Around here they are hosted by Brother rep stores so that's the machines we use. They are the latest machines out and if you buy a machine its at a great price. They normally bring lots of extra CD's of designs that are also for sale at great prices plus the rep store sells thread, etc at reduced price. I love going also to see old friends that I normally don't see unless I'm at one of the events.
