I have 3 Brothers, started with the little PE 150, then bought a used 1500D and a couple years later the 2500D, I love them all...easy to operate and less pricey than the others. They all still work great and sometimes I have all 3 going at the same time, thought about trading all 3 in on one of the 6 needles but they are still too pricey for me!!!!

I have the Singer Futura 200...an older model but she has been with me for about 5-6 years, no problems; I use her mostly for embroidery but have used her to just sew with, too. I think it's a good machine and wasn't too expensive, around $700 or so when I bought her.

I have a Viking Iris and I have done a lot of embroidery on it. I also have the Designer Diamond. I can sew or embroidery on both of them. Wouldn't have any other brand. Just make sure wherever you purchase, they will service it and give know how classes.

I am on my second Brother and love it for its simplicity. Look at Walmart, QVC, Amazon, Ebay.....need to consider the hoop size, I wouldn't get anything smaller than a 5 x 7", and with a USB port, then you will transfer your designs from your computer to machine with a 'thumb drive'...

I have a Brother Duetta 4500, love, love, love the machine.
But question about local support and local repair. I currently have to travel over a hundred miles for service...
But the one nice thing is you can order authentic brother parts, ie;bobbins, feet direct from Brother, I can't do that with my Bernina....
