Brother embroidery machine?

That will be one of their industrial embroidery machines. You want a domestic. Something along these lines?

Or a fancy dual sewing and embroidery job?

I have a Brother PE-750D. (The D is for Disney, which I didn't need because I don't want to embroider Mickey on my tea towels, but I got a good price on it.) That is probably more along the lines you are looking for it. It comes with some very nice lettering and a 5" x 7" hoop.

Thank you so much for the help. There won't be any lessons or classes available and I don't want one that's so complicated that I couldn't use it. And - I don't want one that's so cheap it will be a pain. No. The $

110,000.00 was not a typo - but it just may not be necessary to go so carried away. Polly

In my research for a new "someday" sewing machine, I checked out Brother Quattro on ebay. Yep. $4,400. Don't think so, not ever.

Sorry, I can't help you, Polly, but I do commiserate.

That's a fantastic price for that machine. Worth every penny. Gen

Hi Polly, Here is a link to my sewing machine dealer, they have several Brother machines in different price ranges.

this helps. Bonnie NJ

My Brother 8200 is still going strong! I think it must be at least 10 years old now. You certainly don't need to Quatro or the 4200 to do lettering. I had purchased a used Bernina 440 with the embroidery attachment. I thought it would be great because the embroidery field was bigger, but I much prefer my Brother. Sold the Bernina because I thought my 8200 was even better on the stitching side and I just move too fast for the BSR - never got the hang of that.

Overstock.com currently has a Brother machine for $312.99.

I truly do admire and respect the wonderful things that the finer embroidery machines will do - but they're just not on my list of things to learn. ( I also have great admiration for watercolor painting and flying airplanes but we'll put those off for a while.) All I really want to achieve just now is some fine lettering like Linda can do. Thank you, thank you. Polly

Kudos to anyone who can afford it Gen. :-) Thanks for the info.

Polly,

I use my Bernina 160s lettering to do quilt labels. There are three alphabets and I use the plain one. For my niece Adiana I printed her name over and over again with three little hearts between each set. It went all around the 1.5 dark green inner border. It does take some thinking to program but it's worth it. When I turned on the memory to make sure it was clear it wasn't, it printed out what I put on my Dad's quilt label eight years ago. Some memory!

Howdy!

So, you want to get a Brother for your husband. Isn't it a bit late for that? Maybe not, with the wonder drugs out there these days. So sweet of you to consider the DH when looking at these machines... wait a minute... did he actually SAY he wants an embroidery machine? hmmm? Pollll-lly! ? !

It works for us, Sandy. He gets me a Harley and I choose a mink coat for him. It's a win, win exchange. I'm going to need some adult supervision with buying the embroidery machine. Once I got out into USB, cards, and PEDs I was baffled. Polly

"Sandy E" Howdy!

You can do lettering on the machine directly without the PED, but it is easier and you have more control with the PED, however a solution that is just as effective and much less expensive is Embird with the fonts you want. You will want a machine with a USB port if possible, otherwise you have to invest in either the PED or another card reader.

You also will find yourself using the embroidery more than you thought you would.

Do not go for that Brother .... it is never good to scrimp on a sewing machine of any flavor. You really can't expect to get one of quality for under $200,000. Besides, your DH is worth it! Smirk. PAT
