I am fed up with my singer CE200 - i bought it 2nd hand and the lady who had it worked it to death before selling it to me - if only I had done my homework I would not have been taken for a ride. So now after a year of batteling I am getting rid of it. When and if the works it works well but it gives me more problems than pleasure. But what do I buy - my repair man suggested a brother PE 200, I have worked on the brother PE700 but not too impressed and will have to purchase the software and card reader. I have also seen a few Bernina Deco 650 models for sale but do not know anything about the Bernina machines - I can unfortunately not afford to buy new, I thought of selling and saving till I have enough money for a new machine - but what do I do in the meantime? Any suggesttions?
