I recently bought a Babylock Espire (love her!!!!!) and it was explained to me that Brother is the lower end manufacture line and Babylock has the higher end standards. Great warranty on Babylock.
I'm so jealous! You have the Espire. That is my dream machine and hopefully I'll be able to get the new Symphony in a year or so. I'm a die hard Babylock gal. I own 5 BL machines. My sewing is done on a Pfaff 7570. Great machine but will never buy another Pfaff because the quality just isn't like it was. Babylock really stands behind their products.
Brother and Babylock have no affiliation except that Babylock hires them to manufacture their machines, to their spec's. Babylock does not own a factory so they hire Brother. For what it is worth, Babylock is owned by Tacony, an American company.
