ok all I have been saving for a commercial machine but would love input as to which machine to purchase. Please list the things you like about your machine and if you think they were worth the money. since this will cost me a lot I need all the info I can get. As far as the companies are concerned theres is the best. would rather have personal views. looking at the brothers and babylock machines since I do have a dealer I love who could work on them.

I bought the Barudan Elite Pro in 2003 and absolutely love it!!It is a 15 needle machine.I have not had a seconds trouble with it and have had great support from Barudan whenever I have had questions. It sews through all thicknesses and even leather and balsa wood!!Would never own any other brand!!

Michele, I have had a Brother PC8500D for many years and loved it. Never any problems with it. A little over a year ago, I got the craving for a commercial machine with more needles and large hoops. I happened upon a site called www.digitsmith.com and viewed their used embroidery machines, which is of many brands/types. I saw an ad for a Happy fifteen needle machine that was located within 100 miles of where I live, so it was near enough to go check out. I love the machine and got a good deal. Check out their site!
Hugs, Angel
