It's around $500 but I'll have to save or ask for one as a present from the hubby. Lol. Here it is:

Brother Embroidery and Sewing Machine with USB Port at HSN.com

I have a sewing/embroidery machine from HSN too. It's the Singer Futura and also a gift from my husband. I have not done much with the embroidery part because I'm still learning about stabilizers, etc. I'd like to take an embroidery class too. But it sews really nice. I use my brother as my "class" machine.
