alt Hacker NewsI went with the Brother Skitch PP1. It's right around $300 on amazon. It has sub-par reviews, but I realized that most of those were because of the poorly built software and subscription fee. So far, it has worked really well for me!

I wonder if we might actually see an uptick in sales for hardware that has bad/abusive software out of the box... I hadn't really considered getting an embroidery machine, but now the idea actually seems sort of intriguing, esp. if it isn't locked to some terrible subscription. I doubt the manufacturers will connect the dots, but maybe if they ask Claude why sales are up...
In the past I've been really impressed by Brother products so I'm surprised to hear about their subscription model.
What benefits (if any) does the subscription offer?
