More recently, I read reviews on another forum and everyone wrote that Brother is a great machine, but there are thousands of them saying that instead of a Brother everyone buys Janome. I was very surprised at this.
I think the budget will allow me to buy Brother (
Brother PE800) since I had a financial goal for such a purchase and I want to buy one machine once and for ages
