Brother
Brother makes the most-searched home embroidery machines in the US. The PE line is embroidery-only, the SE line sews and embroiders, and the PR line is multi-needle for hats and small businesses. All of them read Brother's .PES files, and most also read .DST.

Baby Lock
Baby Lock sells its sewing and embroidery machines through independent dealers rather than big-box stores, which usually includes classes and local service. Its embroidery machines read .PES files, the same format Brother machines use.

Janome
Janome's home embroidery machines are the Memory Craft (MC) line, and its multi-needle machines are the MB line. Janome machines use the .JEF file format and Janome's own hoop sizes, which are given in millimetres.

Singer
Singer sells home embroidery and sewing-and-embroidery machines through big retailers. Check the field size and supported file formats closely, because they differ more between Singer models than within the Brother line.
