I have 2 brothers, well actually 7 but those are people. I have the Brother Innovis 1500D ( purchased 4 yrs ago) and the Brother Pro1000e ( just got it). I love both of these machines. I purchased the Innovis on time and cash for the Pro1000e. I also have a Babyloc which is the one I carry to classes and such. I really like that one too.
The dealer is good to work with. I can get some problem solving help over the phone. They always make me feel they have all the time in the world when I need them.
