Brother PE-400D Combination Sewing and Embroidery Machine Review

I've had the Brother PE 400D for a bit over a year now.It is a great little machine.I have NEVER had any needle breaking issues. I'm not sure if the writer of the previos post with that issue was using the correct needle (you need to use an embroidery needle with the embroidery presser foot for embroidery,and you must usse a sewing needle, and coordinating presser foot for general sewing).
The embroidery comes out wonderful.The Winnie the Pooh embroidery patterns that are included are adorable, there are also plenty of pre-set stitches, different lettering fonts, etc.
You can also purchase additional Brother memory cards of numerous subjects: Holidays, Animals, Flowers, etc. Once you get more familiar with embroidery, you may want to purchase the Brother PED-Basic which allows you to download FREE embroidery patterns from the internet, copy them onto a memory card (included) and then place that memory card into your Brother PE-400D.There are MANY things you can do with this great little machine.
This machine is very easy to use.It is my first embroidery/sewing machine combo and I love the touch pad screen.This machine also comes with a DVD instructional video which is very helpful.
