Embroiders by itself practically
Brother SE270D Computerized Sewing and Embroidery MachineGreat machine, so easy to use. Embroiders like a dream. Just remember to use a stabilizer(like a facing material) under. This is to keep the fabric from stretching. Extra cards are $40 for 20 designs. A bit pricey, I think. The PED basic to make your own designs is $140 and that is with only one blank card. Overall the machine works well for sewing and embroidery. Even my 10 year old daughter can run it. With supervision of course.
