I have the Brother PE500 and I love it! I have NO problem finding plenty of cheap and free things to put on baby items for my grand daughter. HOWEVER, I have started doing applique patterns and I am finding many of the DL is NOT exactly same as the applique. I have not ruined anything but I have sure messed up a few things. Another thing I found out you need to do ball point on certain items as it will not stitch well. I have learned the tear away stabilizer doesn't do well with onesies or stretch type material. Anyone else doing onesies? Or applique? Love to hear from you.
