Nice embroidery machine,
October 26, 2006 Memyself&I (Texas) - See all my reviews
This is a fairly nice embroidery machine for the price.It does have a few things I don't like but overall I am glad that I purchased it.The embroidery designs sew out beautifully!And getting a machine that you can hook directly to your pc is definately the way to go! It elimanates pricy design disks and cards.You can find lots of great desings on the web to purchase and download to use on this machine plus it accepts many formats.What I don't like about the embroidery aspect is the fact that the large hoop is not a true 5X7.So I have to resize a lot of my designs to fit the hoop.I really wish they offered a larger hoop as an extra accessory!The digitizing software that comes with the 200 is not that spectacular.You can take simple clipart pictures and turn them into embroidery but nothing too complex and the software dosen't allow you to make appliques.I think you can get better digitizing software elsewhere.It also only comes with 2 fonts: courier and block.You can purchase a disk...Read more

Columbus NJ - Get lessons,
July 22, 2006 dabble - See all my reviews
If you buy the machine online it helps to contact a dealer and pay them for lessons. I have this machine, my machine came with free service and free lessons. The lessons taught me more embroidery tricks than the Tutorial that came with the machine.

Lots of fun,

This is a great starter machine.. It will pretty much do anything you want...The sewing machine I can't tell you much about..I use it exclusively for the embroidery function. It only comes with the two fonts. If you are going to need script, you will have to find it and download it. It will take almost any format. I have been using it for nearly a year now and have had no problems..The instruction manual is awful It really doesn't tell you anything. You are left to your own devises as far as figuring out how to embroidery....Don't forget to drop the feed dogs when your in embroidery mode. A broken needle in that position can possibly make you have to have it serviced..timing jumps out...If you are just starting out be patient and just keep playing.
