HUZZAH!!!! I got a new sewing machine with more features!

This is the one I have been using, about a year old.

I am so excited about adding embroidery work to our shirts and such.   ;D

WOW really nice machine.  Congrats!  One thing I've found with machines like this (I have the Singer C-100) is that they don't do blackwork at all.  They do normal embroidering really nice but not blackwork, which is what I bought mine to do.   :'(  Enjoy your new machine!

Wow. Looks like it has tons of features and stitches over your old one. Good price, too.

I've noticed a good many here prefer Brother over Singer for this price range of machines. My curent is a Singer, but I may be looking for a replacement soon. Glad to see this one has good feedback.

I just got the same machine two weeks ago and absolutely love it. Have fun and congrats on your new machine.
May the stars always shine upon you and yours.

Can you use one of those button hole features to make a tiny one and use it sort of as an eyelet?  That would really be a bonanza.

Congratulations! I am confused though...you and Master James mentioned that you use this for embroidery? Is it a separate device? I see nothing in the model information suggesting it does or is capable of doing embroidery, I probably missed something.

And what embroidery software would you use?

Always full of questions...sorry!

Thank you all. I really like it. Got it at Walmart

amy, I think it would make one of the button holes, like the key hole, small enough for an eyelet. I will work with it this weekend and let you know.

Cilean, it has some small embroidery type stiches programed in it. Such as something like this
-*-*-*-  it also has a straight line vine or fern frond, greek key, etc....
It isn't a progamable machine but you can buy and embroidery foot and free hand embroider with it. For me right now it's all I need.
