![]() The XL-400 has some features that didn't matter much to me, but they sounded nifty, such as the quick threading of the machine, and the auto-tension. I wanted something like this for doing delicate fabric, as I felt that going at 350 stitches per minute was too fast for some fabric. There is also a speed controller, so that the speed at which the embroidery id done can be slowed down from maximum speed. The LB6800PRW isn't anywhere near as deep, so it is hard to sew shirts or embroider them. The SL-400 also has a deep throat, allowing bigger items to be rolled up under the machine. The alignment tools allow you to shift the placement of the design using the machine instead of physically rehooping. ![]() I have tried to do manual alignment, and I can't even get close, no matter how long I try. The XL-400 brings a bigger embroidery area of 10 inches by 6 inches and the option to go to 20 inches by 12 inches by multi-hooping, using some nifty alignment tools that are built into the hoop and machine. Besides those reviews and comments, the machine had the features I most wanted. There were a decent amount of negative reviews out there that I saw, but most looked like they were from people new to sewing or embroidery where the issue was user related, not machine related. I did a bunch of looking around (literally a month of research) and finally decided to get the XL-400 Futura by Singer. ![]() I really wanted to get an embroidery machine that had a bigger embroidery field than my LB6800PRW. ![]()
