before i took her word for that i'd have to know how many different brands and models of machines she personally compared before coming to that conclusion.
as donna pointed out, comparisons are meaningless unless every condition other than the machines is identical.
they are also meaningless unless the comparisons are drawn between a wide enough range of brands and models, plus between more than one individual machine in each brand/model category. (even the best brands and models will sometimes roll a lemon off the assembly line.)
and i'd want to know how experienced she is in the field of machine embroidery.
