Embroidery Machine
I currently use a PE770D embroidery machine and for the most part it meets my needs. But I find the lack of a better display screen when embroidering very frustrating. The PE770D is not in color so all you see really is a black blob and if the design is very detailed, it is difficult to tell exactly which part you are embroidering. So I am considering stepping up to another machine. My dealer says the next machine with that feature (color, detailed display of what is being embroidered), is the Dreammaker XL Innov-is VE2200 by Brother. Including the trade-in on my current machine, the cost will be about $4000. My question: does anyone know if this is a reasonable price? I tried to compare on line with SewVac and other places like that but they sell this machine only in their retail store, not on-line. One of the places indicated they had to sign an agreement with Brother in order to allow local stores to compete. Anyway, is $4000 a good price for the machine?
Thanks for any input. |
does the digitizing software come with it? if so, sounds reasonable to me

I just purchased the Brother PE 780. I traded the 150. Still learning. Doing t-shirts for the grandkids. Next is learning to download designs from the computer.

Check out the Janome 1100. Its about the same price I love mine

Yes that's a really good price. Here in Flirida the best price is 5700. I have a friend that recently purchased one and she loves it. I have a Brothets Quattro 6000D and I love it. Wouldn't trade it. I had. brothers 8500D for over 12 years and recently sold it for 600. They are terrific machines. Go for it.

I have a Dreamweaver XE which is the combo sewing/quilting/embroidery. It is absolutely the best machine I've ever used. I paid $5000 for mine. If you have this opportunity, go for it.

The price I quoted is for the embroidery only machine. I have the Dreamweaver VQ3000 (sewing only) and love it. But I didn't want a combination machine but a stand alone embroidery machine. Makes the two of them pretty pricey but, hey, I'm worth it! Seriously, I think I will go ahead with this purchase. Now to find a place to put a machine this large. Thanks for the input.

Call Amy at Brubakerssewing.com. She will ship, not sure if she has the Brother machines, but I purchased a Janome 11000SE for a great price at the beginning of the year. I love it. You can still get this machine new, even though Janome has the 12000 and now 15000 out. The 11000SE was about $9000 when they first came out....now you can find them for $3900-4900 range. Check it out on line and see if it fits your needs.
