HELP I have seen the Brother PR600 and now the above machine Can anyone offer me some advise as to the better of the two. Both come in at the same price, I am not a commercial sewer but would love to start to sell some of my things if interest took off. My lovely hubby calls it my enhanced hobby. Its a lot of cash if one machine would out perform the other over long term. All advise gratefully recieved. Many thanks Mooie

IMHO..the PR600 is a great machine that will do what you want. It will do
I can't comment on the Brother since we don't have one but we do have the Happy Voyager. I believe the Brother is a 6 needle machine. I'm sure someone will correct me if that's not correct . The Happy has 12 needles and also sews at 1000 spm. It has auto thread change, auto thread cutting and accepts designs through either serial or USB port and also has a pcmcia slot memory cards.
We like the machine very much. I have really been impressed with the quality of construction. It appears to be built to hold up well and last a long time. I look at the various sites that sell other brands of comparable machines and I haven't found anything that sells for the same price that I'd rather have.
I would have to second the comments on the Voyager - we own one, and for the money you cannot beat it - not to mention the small size and light weight compared to a normal commercial. Also of note is the fact that the Happy Voyager is duty rated for light commercial work (8-10 hrs a day 6 days a week).
