I have had the PE180D since they first came out. This machine is very easy to use. It sometimes has a problem with thread nests so you have to be careful, and if you want to do more designs than what comes with the machine you must purchase a memory card and and card design converter box to download designs from the internet. This can become expensive but in the long run very worth it. The biggest draw back of this machine is that the largest size embroidery you can do is 4" by 4", and you soon discover that if you love this craft you want to be able to embroider larger areas. If you are buying it for just the Disney designs, you can buy extra Disney design cards for around $100. Remember you cannot use the Disney designs to sell items(it is a copyright infringement),use designs for yourself and gifts only.Read full review
the machine is very user friendly and easy to use. the bonus Disney characters make it a fun and economical choice.

I brought the machine for the Disney characters. The machine is easy to use. Instructions are simple and well written. For the price, the machine is well built and works perfectly. It is understandable that a larger design area comes with a more costly embroidery machine. I have used Winnie the Pooh and Donald Duck cards and they too work perfectly.
I have a Baby Lock Embroidery machine that i have had for years, the only reason I purchased the brother machine was because because i could embroidery the disney designs. I received the machine and it was not the PE-180D I did not purchase the PE180D I purchased the PE 250 machine and that is what I received I would not recommend anyone to purchase this machine, It has a cartridge that you remove and install your thread and load it back in the machine and it was supposed to automatically thread the machine, when i received it this part of the machine did not work, I took it into the machine shop and traded it for a PE 950 machine, I love it. Iwould not recommed anyone to purchase this PE 250 machine, to much to go wrong.
I love it I can’t wait to make something
