I am looking at buying an entry-level embroidery machine. I've narrowed it down to either a brother PE-150 or PE-170 or a White 3300. Can you all give me some feedback on what you'd recommend.

Thanks much!

I agree with redpenny the larger hoop is better. It doesn't limit your design size.

I have the Brother PE150 and like it very much --- the next machine will have the larger hoop.

So I guess the question is -- Are you going to use it a lot ///get the larger hoop. If you are just going to do a small amount of embroidery ///get the low end model.
