Embroidery is a very expensive hobby so some people choose to buy a sewing machine that also does embroidery. But there are others who’d invest in a machine that does only embroidery and use another cheaper machine for basic sewing so that the embroidery machine suffers less wear and tear.
Which do you think is better then? If you want a 2-in-1, I recommend this Brother SE270D. It has a lot more built-in designs than the SE350, including Mickey Mouse designs, florals and other patterns, and 5 monogram fonts.

Add More Designs with Software
You can buy more design cards or expand the database by getting a card reader and software. The software allows you to download all the designs you like from the internet. Both options are wallet-killers, but I did tell you that embroidery is an expensive hobby.
A USB port for downloading is a better option but the Brother PE700II (a pure embroidery machine) which has this feature, costs twice the price of the SE270D.
The size of the embroidery hoop is 4 by 4, not industrial size but good enough for making some nice embroidery on purses, pockets, and baby blankets, to name a few.
Good for Sewing Too
As for the sewing part, it sews pretty nicely with straight and precise stitches, and the three sewing speeds are great for beginners.
You can also adjust for long stitches if you’re doing thick or multi-layered fabrics. The automatic threading makes it very easy to switch from embroidery to sewing or to switch colors.
The Brother SE270D is very easy to use with simple controls, just right for people who’re taking on embroidery for the first time.
