I love my BabyLock Elizabeth which I paid $900 for several years ago. I'm not sure tho if they even still make them. My friend recently bought a BabyLock Katheryn for $900 also. We both love our machines! I enjoy buying (or being given) used machines, cleaning them up, oiling them, making sure they run well and then finding a new home for them. Brothers and Kenmores are what I find most. They are excellent machines. Even the older ones. An old Janome came through my hands once and she was a great working machine. Sorry I don't remember model numbers.
