Where I would spend $100.00
I don’t know about you but a $100 gift card (less $$ I need to spend on gifts) would go toward a much wanted Embroidery Sewing Machine. I read a review in the current issue of threads® magazine about a new Embroidery Machine*.
Finally, there is a machine that doesn’t cost mega bucks ($1000. +). Brother USA™ has introduced the Brother PE-500; for under $300.00!! It is what I would classify as beginner embroidery machine. The higher priced machines are loaded with tons of fonts, designs, features etc; they also have the capability to download images from your computer via a Flash Drive.
The Brother PE-500 offers a seamstress options to “get her feet wet” by including 70 built-in designs and five different font styles and it also has the ability to use your computer (basically unlimited design opportunities). The embroidery area is small; only 4-inch square. I want to use embroidery on my purses; I don’t have BIG design ideas.
Wal-Mart has the PE-500 on-line and in stock for $269.67 (as of today January 22, 2013).
If I outgrow this smaller machine I will have had time to earn and save more money for the HUGE machines.
