Thanks anyway ladies. I spent a few minutes reviewing these two machines at Brother. First, they do not show an image or information other than a manual for the HE1. The manual for the PE 500 and HE 1 are the same. Both models use 90 wt bobbin thread, have USB cable connection, have only a 4 x 4 hoop/embroidery area and both are compatible with ibrodery, which is liscensed designs available for select Brother models. I does appear the HE1 is sold on HSN and could be either badged for this market or has been re-badged as the PE500.

I'm going to get the HE1 because I can get it under $200. -- Edited on 3/5/13 1:13 PM -- ------ Viking Opal 650 Singer Stylist II Singer 14sh654 Brother SE 270D Brother HE1

I was thinking of a different model even though they look alike. Yes, they are both embroidery only. The HE1 I believe is the designation HSN gives to the machines they sell. -- Edited on 3/6/13 0:00 AM -- -- Edited on 3/6/13 0:01 AM -- ------ Brother PC420 Brother 1034D Singer SESQ6700 Singer Signature (New One) New Home Combi DX Singer 319 Singer Featherweight 221

The HE1 on HSN is a sew And embroider machine. The PE500 is embroider only. Now I'm going to bed! ------ Brother PC420 Brother 1034D Singer SESQ6700 Singer Signature (New One) New Home Combi DX Singer 319 Singer Featherweight 221

Actually HSN makes it confusing because their HE 1 is embroidery only despite what they say. It is the exact machine that I am looking at. ------ Viking Opal 650 Singer Stylist II Singer 14sh654 Brother SE 270D Brother HE1
