The Brother PE700II is my second embroidery machine and I wanted it for three reasons: 1. affordable price 2. the ability to hook to the computer to get designs online and download them for use straight into the embroidery machine without extra software and 3. a larger size embroidery space. I find it has accomplished all of these goals , plus being easy to operate and with a manuel that has good explanations - if you take the time to read them. I did notice in some sites that offered complaints about them - that if they had just throughly read their manuel they would have found the answer to what They were doing wrong, as sometimes a machine is only as good as the operator will let it be.

I have also used the decorative threads to make small bags and they always turn out perfect. My only problem...
