Irene, do you have any tips on centering a name on towels? I have a Brother 900, it will create designs for only no bigger than a 4x4, to see if I'd like it and if it was difficult to use. I took a class but sometimes I'm more confused than it actually is . I'd appreciate your advise. Grandmaang

I am happy with it, It will do a 5x7 area, which I like, but now..... I kinda wish I could do bigger.

I have a baby lock Esante 2, this machine is several years old and I inherited it, do you find that you can also free motion quilt easily? I cannot, two dealers have told me that is because of how it was designed, wondering if they fixed that problem.

I started on a Babylock Ellure and wanted to get more embroidery capabilities, so I bought a Babylock Ellegante. Love them both, but they are/were much more expensive. If I ever have to replace them, I will look around more as I think I could get the same capabilities without spending as much money. I am in the market for a good quilting machine without embroidery as I think doing all the quilting on my Ellegante is going to wear it out too quickly.

I have a Scandinavia 400 (Viking) and it does a great job. Unfortunately, the embroidery cards that fit it are no longer being made. I have purchased some off of ebay, but the blank ones are way too expensive. I want to sell it, but don't feel I can because of the card issues. I would get a machine that can attach to your computer and eliminate the problem of cards becoming outdated.

But be warned, the machine is just part of your start up costs! Them there's the stabilizer and be prepared to spend several hundred dollars on thread if you are going to do anything beyond Monograms and labeling!

I have the Janome MC350e as well and what Mamagus says about the supplies is very true.

My first machine was a brother and a real work horse. My suggestion to you is to buy a machine with the total embroidery area that u want It will make a huge difference in the designs u can do. I found that 4X4 just wan't large enough in alot of cases. Wish you luck!!!
