this is the machine I would buy. I have had one for almost 14 years and have never had a problem with it. They rarely come up for sale, and are a great work horse also does wonderful embroidery. If you bought this you could buy a reader/writer and be able to transfer your deisgns from the computer to the machine....
I would never trade mine in. I also have a Brother Innovis that gets used for larger embroidery designs....
