Which embroidery machine is best for a beginner?

Hi everyone, I’m new to embroidery and have decided to buy an embroidery machine. After doing some research and considering my budget (I plan to buy a used machine), I’ve narrowed it down to three models: 1. **Brother Innov-is NV 800E** 2. **Elna 9600 Haute Couture** 3. **Janome Memory Craft 500E**Maybe I’m looking at this the wrong way as a beginner, but for me, the following points are crucial when it comes to these machines:- **Price:** All three models are within my budget, especially if I buy them used.- **Hoop size:**  - Brother: 26 x 16 cm - Elna: 20 x 28 cm - Janome: 28 x 20 cm- **USB flash drive functionality:** I want to make sure I can easily transfer designs via USB. I’ve already visited two specialty stores to get advice, but unfortunately, the advice wasn’t really helpful.That’s why I’m turning to you: Do you have any experience with any of these machines? Which one would you recommend to a beginner, and why? Are there any specific pros or cons I should keep in mind? I’m also open to suggestions for other models. Space isn’t an issue, so a dedicated embroidery machine would also be fine. I’d appreciate any help or tips!🤗

My first embroidery machine was the Brother 750E, and I was very happy with it. It also depends on what you want to do with the machine, because if you want to design your own embroidery designs, software like that is helpful; unfortunately, it doesn’t really work without it. For Brother, there is the Embird digitizing software, which is relatively easy to handle and understand, and it’s also not quite as expensive as all the others.
At some point, the 750E became too small for me, because I would have liked to embroider something larger, such as 130x180; the hoops available for the 750E are 60x20, 100x100, and 130x180.
For about 8 years now, I’ve had the Innovis V 3 from Brother, which also has the very large 180x300 hoop; all these measurements are in mm.
Unfortunately, I can’t tell you anything at all about the other two machines.

Best regards, Inge
