I started out with the Babylock Ellure Plus. Loved it but wanted a bigger sewing field so I up graded to a Babylock Elleago. Faboulous machine. Worth every penny I spent on it. Brother has a big sale going on now with lots of discounts. I took a class on the Invonnnis 6000. They have 36 months no interest. I think Allbrands had it for $219.00 a month. It is really a lot of fun. I have incorporated it into my quilting. :thumbup:
