I started out on Viking Topaz 20, then traded in for the
Designer Diamond. I use my Diamond A LOT for sewing and
embrodery. Have embroidered blocks, then into quilts.
You can also buy patterns with a CD to copy on your
computer, then to the embrodery machine.

I have the Memory Craft 1000 I did use it alot at first but now have been quilting more and maybe when My new room gets built and I can have 2 machine set up I will have them both running. I do like it. I have noticed at the store they have a lot of used ones at a god price.
