I sew on the Brother Inovis 4000. I also do custom sewing, mostly wedding gowns and formal wear. I have found the machine to be fairly high maintenance. I usually end up taking it to the repair shop at least twice a year. It's been a variety of problems. I also find if you are sewing over heavy seams, etc. the machine will "sit and stitch" until you pull it from the back, and it doesn't take much of a "bump" to cause that. However, the embroidery attachment and the quality of the designs has been very good. I have had no problem in that respect at all. After a large investment in a sewing machine I feel that I need to keep it awhile! I do my serious topstitching on Grandma's 1942 Singer.
