I bought a Baby Lock Ellisimo about 5 years ago and have really enjoyed my machine. I was talked into buying it. (weak moment) I did not go into the dealership thinking I would get a sewing machine that could embroidery. There has been a big learning curve for me and I've spent a lot of money. It turned out to be a good thing and I love what I can do with it. In the beginning I was sure I'd made a mistake. Not now.
