Welcome to the board, Itchy! :) I, too, would like to upgrade and I've had my eye on the Brother DreamWeaver, but not for embroider (I have a stand alone embroiery machine), but I want it for sewing and quilting. In the next couple of weeks, I plan on going over to my Brother dealer's showroom and doing a little test-driving on one...BUT I'm almost afraid to do this, as I have a feeling I'll cave to financing it... decisions, decisions. :o

Blessings and welcome from Kathy in beautiful Monroe County, West Virginia....you'll love the "board"....This probably won't help but I piece on an 18 year old Bernina...still works great...and machine quilt on a Husqvarna Sapphire...my embroidery machine in a Singer Futura...and I have a babylock serger.....I'm happy with all these and they were all bought on sale....Hope you find EXACTLY what you're looking for....I'm sure you'll get some great advice here....
