speattle Member since 2/10/11 Posts: 124	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 4/27/12 1:42 AM About a new embroidery only machine they have just introduced. The PE 500. It has a 4 x 4 hoop and not as many built ins as the bigger brothers. It has a place to connect a computer, but not just a USB. Looks nice and is only $299.00! However, I don't own a laptop, so I am really glad to have the USB capability.

Date: 4/27/12 3:32 PM This embroidery machine has USB connectivity via cable. So, you need either a laptop or the embroidery machine next to your desktop computer. To use a memory card for loading designs, you would need PED Basic w/rewritable card, another $100. That's $400 you could put toward an embroidery machine with a larger embroidery area and USB drive.

I've had no problems with mine and I've used it a lot. I would certainly buy another it they still made them

reallyrob   Beginner IL USA Member since 8/19/08 Posts: 57	Login to reply to this post 1 member likes this. Date: 5/20/12 2:10 AM I have this machine, and I actually like it! I have gotten a lot of use out of it in the past 2 weeks. I posted a review here at PatternReview. I also have a Brother PE770, and I love it! The only thing I don't like is I can not find a case to fit it, so that I can carry it with me. I have been taking the PE500 with me to work, cause it will fit in a regular sewing machine tote.
