Brother SE400

I don't have the brother machine YET but am planning on getting one at the end of the month.

Me neither, LOL. I am really leaning towards getting this....It is still some $$$ but not as much as some of the others I have seen. What type of machine do you have?

Baby Lock Ellageo and I really like it.

Yay CrazyMtnLady....what model are you getting?

Coffetime...I have heard that those are nice machines. I am not sure how "into" embroidery I will be..so I am starting small, and cheap(er)! LOL

Lisa, I really like the Ellageo. I started with the Ellure Plus and it is wonderful but doesn't begin to have the bells and whistles the Ellageo has. I really like the sewing on the Ellure Plus. It sews very, very well.

You need to post some photos of your work, Coffeetime!

I have spent considerable time looking at the Babylock machines, but there is no way I could ever buy one at their price. I would only want one for making a quilt block. I was just at Walmart today, and picked up some thread. I saw what I think is the Brother SE400, but it might have been another model. In any case, it was an embroidery and sewing machine. I was tempted, but not just now. I have always thought I'd like a bigger than 4 inch design, but then you can move the hoop to fill in more of a block.

I know....If I spent all that money on a machine I would never have money to buy fabric, let alone embroidery supplies!!! LOL At our local Wallyworld the only sewing/embroidery machine they have on display is the SE400. (They also have an embroidery only machine, which looks like a sewing machine, i think it is a PE700.)

I have read some of the reviews of the SE400. Although a lot are good, there is enough bad reviews to scare me. I think I read the reviews from Amazon. I just punched in Brother SE400 reviews and read what I could find. I still may get one.
