We need to know exactly what you want to do in terms of digitizing or monogramming. We are very knowledgeable about software and have classes here in the store. The best way to answer your question would be by phone so we can really and truly diagnose your needs and also budget as software can easily be over $1000 as you have found thus far in your search I am sure. Please call us :) We are here to help! 1-800-898-0893 My name is Chip and I am the software educator here.

My Singer works pretty well. I have been embroidering a baby blanket and using the embroidery stitches. Sometimes the thread breaks, but it's normal when you are embroidering. Suggestion: sewing slowly works best. I am happy with my Singer.

The pro version has the machine option; and a library of some patterns (Donna Vermillion Giampa; Kooler Design Studio). If you are a regular stitcher (rather than a teacher or a designer), the regular program will do everything you want! mb

I use Sew What Pro computer software along with the large hoop (they have a free 30 day trial, but I purchased it for $65 and it's SO WORTH IT). This allows you to edit the embroidery/appliqu to where it doesn't/does overlap how you want it to. You can do an appliqu in position 1 on the hoop and then move it to position 2 or 3 and put a name under the appliqu, etc. without re-hooping the fabric. It's amazing!

I do not know that. I use it with Embroidery Digitizing. Sorry. I use Windows OS.

Your machine must take a disk. If it does then yes as long as you save your embroidery to the correct format. If it does noit take a disk then No!!! It will noit work.

Trisha, Buttonholes can not be done on this machine. This is an Embroidery Only machine. Thank you,

Not with the characters built into the machine. Mine came with a CD I don't know about it. But you can purchase all type of things from a website you can download immediately for about $1.99 ea and get one free with every purchase. My favorite place to purchase is www.embroiderydesigns.com

It depends on a couple of things. First, how strong is your interest in sewing? This may sound stupid, but if you are not sure you are going to enjoy the art of sewing I would buy the least expensive thing possible that will still yield good results. That is what I did. The Sewist 500 fit the bill perfectly for me to learn how to sew. It is basic and mechanical, so it is virtually indestructible for novice sewers. However, after about a year, I realized the machine was not going to meet my needs for the long term. At that point, I began investigating alternatives and purchased a mid-arm Juki that is specifically for quilting. I love it. It does exactly what I need it to do and does it beautifully. So, the second part for you to consider is what is your sewing interest and how accomplished are you? If you are a novice and are uncertain, then stick with the Sewist. It is very much a generalist machine. Does it have 30 different stitches? No. Do you need 30 different stitches? Not unless you plan to do embroidery. If that is your plan, you may find you outgrow the 8077 pretty quickly, too. If you already have an interest established, look for the machine that best sets you up to follow that passion. I also highly recommend going to fabric stores etc to test machines. Don't just read about them online and then buy. Seriously, each one has a different personality. Find the one that fits you.

I would look in the manual that came with your model machine. I do know that some machines are a little picky and prefer the specific brand and size. I found that out with one of my embroidery machines.

Amazon.com is where I've purchased machine cards for my embroidery machine. I love them.

This maching has only minimal programmed functions, so only basic pattern work can be accomplished. This machine would not serve well as embroidery project machine.

I love mine. It is embroidery only. I have only used this model. You may consider that in this case size doe matter. The 5x7. Hoop size is better than a smaller hoop size. IMHO. The larger the hoop size the better. A smaller pattern can be used on any hoop but the larger patterns are restricted to you hoop size. This machine is very easy to use. You can down load many patterns from the internet and download onto a thumb drive to use on this model. Or buy patterns from Brother. There are endless options.

I've researched this unit for my wife & found these Brother machines a similar series: Sixty-stitch BC 1000/CP 6500/CS 6000I/CS 6000T/EX 660 Seventy-stitch HS 2500/CP 7500/XR 7700 Seventy-seven-stitch ES 2000 Eighty-stitch XR 9000 It seems cosmetics, number of stitches, and low price variations are the only differences

I would guess yes it does, I know it works with embroidery machines. Check out your current drive if it's standard power plug and data cable for floppy, this should work. Te biggest problem is formatting your thumb drive properly, I have some links to the software if you need it.

8 isn't that bad, but some software isn't compatible with it. I use Wilcom Bernina Sewing software to digitize machine embroidery designs, I have version 6, windows 8 isn't compatible with it, so I had to keep an older lap top to run Wilcom. It does take some getting used to, but I also use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, the full suite...and this PC runs it great, no lag time at all.
