I'm agree with linda8450. It sounds like you like to keep up with technology, especially when it adds convenience. It also sounds like you are an "off and on quilter/sewist" as leaving a brand new Janome, a very reliable machine, sitting idle for 10 years speaks volumes. If you want to make quilts, your Babylock Espire is all the machine you will ever need. If you like to shop, look are the newest machines, appreciate all the bells and whistles of the newer models, then do it, but don't blame the machine. Most of us have more than one and enjoy them all. There's no right or wrong to this. Just enjoy the process. Good luck and have fun. Remember, it's not work!!
