Brother embroidery machine?
I don't want to embroider Donald Duck on 800 baseball caps. Not even one
pegasus on our tea towels - but - I've seen some really nice, very nice, lettering done on a Brother embroidery machine. I can write very well in cursive FM - could even do the Declaration of Independence if motivated. Witchy (Linda) puts some good-looking lettering on her blocks for Hugs and a neighbor's friend can too. Friend says she has a Brother that it is easy-going and wasn't expensive. So. Brace yourself. I wandered over to ebay to see if I might want to give DH a basic embroidery machine made by Brother. The first one up? Yeeeesh! One that costs $ 110,000.00. Don't think that's what I have in mind. Does anybody have any idea what I do have in mind? Polly |

Brother embroidery machine?
I hope this is a typo. $110,000.00 is quite a price for a Brother machine.
I know some Brother models used to be available at Walmart, maybe still are. I have a friend who has a Brother embroidery machine and is quite happy with it. She makes doll clothes to sell at craft shows and on-line, and uses the machine to embellish them, as well as other personal uses. I believe her husband purchased the machine at Walmart, for nowhere near $110,000. Hope you can find one you like. Keep searching.... Linda "Polly Esther" wrote in message ...

You want a domestic. Something along these lines?

(The D is for Disney, which I didn't need because I don't want to embroider Mickey on my tea towels, but I got a good price on it.) That is probably more along the lines you are looking for it. It comes with some very nice lettering and a 5" x 7" hoop. Maureen |

Brother embroidery machine?
Thank you so much for the help. There won't be any lessons or classes
available and I don't want one that's so complicated that I couldn't use it. And - I don't want one that's so cheap it will be a pain. No. The $ 110,000.00 was not a typo - but it just may not be necessary to go so carried away. Polly "Maureen Wozniak" wrote in message ...

That's a fantastic price for that machine. Worth every penny.

Brother embroidery machine?
My Brother 8200 is still going strong! I think it must be at least 10
years old now. You certainly don't need to Quatro or the 4200 to do lettering. I had purchased a used Bernina 440 with the embroidery attachment. I thought it would be great because the embroidery field was bigger, but I much prefer my Brother. Sold the Bernina because I thought my 8200 was even better on the stitching side and I just move too fast for the BSR - never got the hang of that. Overstock.com currently has a Brother machine for $312.99.

I truly do admire and respect the wonderful things that the finer embroidery
machines will do - but they're just not on my list of things to learn. ( I also have great admiration for watercolor painting and flying airplanes but we'll put those off for a while.) All I really want to achieve just now is some fine lettering like Linda can do. Thank you, thank you. Polly "Witchystitcher" wrote... My Brother 8200 is still going strong!
