Thanks for the feedback. Well...today I'm one step closer to a decision.
I test drove a Brother Quattro and then a Babylock Ellisimo. Next week, I'll be doing a dealer-sponsored project on the Janome MC11000SE. Then later in the month a dealer-sponsored project on the Babylock.
So, it's between Janome and Brother/Babylock.
If I decide on Brother/Babylock, then have to pick one. Essentially the same except for the designs.
