Baby Lock Sewing machines?
I'm looking to purchase a good machine and am thinking very seriously about Baby Lock. Do any of you own the Crescendo? Are you satisfied? What is the price range of the Baby Lock machines? I will have to travel a good ways to make such a purchase as there's no dealers in my area.

I like what I see Mary Fons using and before I go I'd like to know a little before I get shell shocked at the price. I have 3 Berninas and just interested in maybe getting something different. I love two of my Berninas. Sometimes we let good things go by us because we are single minded and think there is only one brand.

Is there a specific function you are looking for in a new machine? Or something you feel is lacking in your Bernina's? Also, depending on your Bernina, you might be able to sell it used for a decent price. Some of the older ones are pretty in demand.

I've had the Crescendo almost a year now, and really love it. Turned in a Janome which I hated. The wide throat space is wonderful on the Baby Lock. My DH built a beautiful sewing table for me (L shaped). He cut out the area for the machine so it sits down and is level with table - but now I can't use one of the electronic features because I can't plug it in. He doesn't know this yet. I'll have to figure out something.

Marsh why don't you have him cut the hole wider at the back of the machine so you can use the pen. Mine sets in a table but has a hole of my insert open at the back where the elctronics sit. Does you table have an insert or os ot just lowere to be flush with the table

I have BL Serenade, which I love, and it's about 3 years old. No embroidery capability, but it has a knee lift for the presser foot, needle down feature (both of those features are great---freeup both hands, especially for machine appique), dual feed dogs, and thread cutter. I got mine on a super sale for around $1,200 at the time.

I just called a Baby Lock dealer that's about 2 and 1/2 hours away and the price for the Crescendo is 4699.00 and they will only give me a thousand trade in for this 3,000.00 Bernina that isn't even broken in yet. So I guess I will not be trading machines after all.
