I am really enjoying my PE770. I bought this model because I already have two other sewing machines and could not justify a combined sewing/embroidery purchase. I do love adding embroidery to my items. It steps up my creativity. I have not mastered every feature, but I have already made several lovely items. I would suggest if you are looking to start embroidering this is the way to go! It requires patience and the proper threads but if you love sewing and want to take your items, bags, jackets up a notch, try this out. I called many dealers and they were trying to sell me more expensive manufacturers, but I'm happy with my Brothers. I have a regular sewing machine as well with about 75 stitches. They compliment each other well.
