I did quite a bit of research on this one when I was looking last summer. Elna has a web site. http://www.elnausa.com/ I bought a Innovis 4000 because it uses the same software and hardware as my old machine. With hind site I probably would buy the Xquisit II and new software. Take a look you will be pleasantly suprised. happy sewing!
Sorry, I know nothing about it. I hope you get some good information about it though. I just wanted to mention that I think your icon is DARLING! Do you plan to change it with the seasons, or just have a snowman all year 'round? =]
Lady, I don’t know anything about that machine, but you could look on the ‘My Embroidery Machine’ page on the Cute site, I don’t know if you’ll find anything there but it’s worth a try. Also, check out the Elna site, ask all the questions you can think of. Google the Elna Xquisit II and get all the info you can. Then find a friendly dealer, ask heaps more questions, then take the machine for a lo-o-ong test-drive. Hope this helps. All the best with whatever you decide.
All excellent advice, Ruthie. (Not that I'm surprised that you would give good advice. I'm not!) =] The quickest route to "buyer's remorse" is to jump in too quickly.
