My vote is for any Brother, great quality & user friendly, if you, or family members are Disney fans then look for a Brother model with a "D" after the number, they are the only machines that can do Disney. I've had different Brother models for the last 15 yrs, from inexpensive to TOL's, love them all.
Please realize, once you get the machine then you will need specialty threads & stabilizers, but it is all so much fun! My latest project was putting Christmas designs on fleece jackets I found at a bargain price, my daughter & granddaughters love them. I also always make a label for my quilts using the embroidery machine, sometimes even a poem & the quilt history. Fun!
