which is the best embroidery/sewing machine ?
singer or brother
Hands down – Brother! This brand is the leader in home embroidery machines.
The format used is very well known and used at many sites that offer free design downloads.
Next step up is Baby Lock, which is of the same family.
I have owned both brands. Started as a newbie with a Brother model with a maximum embroidery area of 4" x 4". I soon outgrew this limitation and traded up for a Baby Lock with a much larger embroidery area.
In addition to the embroidery machine (no matter which brand you choose) will be the need for software for viewing and editing designs.
Embird is the leader in this field. You begin with an inexpensive base/basic program and then add "plug-ins" as you progress and determine a need for the additions. http://www.secretsof.com/content/1853
