I'm considering buying one of these Brother machines. I was wondering if anyone had one and could tell me how they like it. I've been sewing for a long time and I'm looking forward to addding embroidery work to my projects. I'll also be adding my daughter's name on her white lab coats (med school). Kim |

the Brother embroidery machines are among the easiest to use. As with most any machine, shop around and find a dealer you feel comfortable with. I started out with a Brother pe-150, then went to a 2003D, now have the BAbylock Emp-6 (same as the Brother pr-600) and feel free to ask any questions you might have... MO life is too short, not to explore

I'll be sure to keep my eye on this thread since I am interested in the 2500d (the 4000d is too expensive for me). The dealer I found that sells these isn't too far away (1/2 hour). I'm trying to get a Saturday afternoon when my dh can watch our dd so I can at least go and try it out. My dd's name is 9 characters long so I need a field size bigger than 4x4.

I have the 3100D. I bought it second-hand because I couldn't afford a new one. I've had it for more than 2 years and never regretted my purchase. Brother machines are excellent for sewing as well as embroidering. MO is right, it is essential to have a reliable dealer. Isabelle
