Does anyone have this machine and if so do you like it?

Think it is worth the money?

Would you get a differnt type if you could?

Is there a better machine, brand for the same money?

I am in the market for a new machine. I have always wanted one that would embroider but I have a friend who does this for a living and she is always willing to do it for me. For what I pay her I could easily buy one that does more sewing. I sew primarily for my grandkids, 2 girls, and do alterations for myself and family. I do a few crafts, pillows and make bedskirts, draperies occassionally. I do not make any of my clothes. I used to make all my clothes and my daughters as well. Now I just feel I can buy them for much less at places like TJMaxx, Marshalls and even department stores on sale. Fabric and notions have become so expensive.

Any suggestions from you everyday seamstress'?
