Update 100 odd views and no post or advice ?
Tried to find info on brother 1201 ac/pc?
we are based in uk and there don't seem a lot of people/user reviews ?
Is this because it no very popular ? Or bad machine ?
Any advice or help would be great

My choice is Barudan. I love my single head.

We own 3 Tajima Single heads but we do larger objects. A tajima is to embroidery what John Deere is to tractors - retains value and is the industry standard along with barudan. I'll tell you what others have told me - buy all the quality you can afford and you'll never regret it.

I have Tajima & Barudan. They both retain their value.

I have a Barudan and love it. Two very important things to remember when making this type of an investment is the service and training. If you can't get good service and training, you will not be happy.

I have an SWF machine. The machine runs great and the service and support is some of the best I have seen. However, it really depends where you are. If you are the west coast though, I would definitely check out SWF because in this area they are by far the best in the area.
