My old embroidery machine was a Brother 8200 that I upgraded the motherboard to a 8500. I never got heavily into machine embroidery but wanted to start back doing it again. After 29 years that machine finally died and it is just not worth it to repair it (cheaper to buy a new machine). It didn't have disney designs on it and I've accumulated enough embroidery designs over the years that a new one doesn't have to have a bunch of them on it. Just want a machine for occasional use and easy.
