| Well, I took the plunge...guess what I bought... After researching embroidery machines, I have finally ordered one. At the moment, I have just a beginners Brother machine that I love I might add. It was super easy to learn how to use on my own and it gets the job done well enough. I've seen so many beautiful embroidery creations not just for dogs but for everything so I want one. After getting feedback from you guys I decided that since I only have a basic sewing machine, that I would get a machine that does a combination of both embroidery and sewing. I wanted to get a machine that will last and a machine that does pretty embroidery work. I was really set on a Brother machine but after researching I found that Brother embroidery machines are formatted to only use Brother designs which most cost more money and the added software needed for the embroidery cost upwards of $600+++. This led me to the Singer machine that I purchased. It comes with all the software that I need to get started and more along with a 6x10 and a smaller hoop. It has the capacity to do quad hooping which will let me cover about a 11x18(or 11x25) space. I went searching online and found a 15% coupon for new customers (not the one that they send you that's 15% off up to $50. This one was 15% off up to $75 off) and shipping was free and it has pretty good customer reviews. So here it is. Take a look and tell me what you think.

| This is very similar to mine, but I think this is a newer model. I think you will love it. Looks like this machine is also a Serger? Mine is not. Anyway, it was very easy to use and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. One trick: always have a bobbin loaded before turning on machine. I made the mistake of turning it on without one and it started beeping and flashing lights like crazy. So I keep a bobbin in there because u can always change it after th machine is on. Good luck. I can hardly wait to see your creations |

| Yay! I'm so glad you took the plunge with me. With my DH the software package sealed the deal. I showed him the prices to buy the software individually and we were sold. I can't wait until we get them. I'm with you, this is the only machine we will need. |
