How about the Bernina 830. Oh how I would love to have one of those machines.[/quote]
That is my "dream machine" but too pricey for me right now (since I have 2 embroidery machines and a sewing machine already). I have a babylock ellageo that I got used at a local sewing center. Got it for a very good price, and it had been serviced regularly at the center. No problems with it in the 4 years I've had it. My friend has a babylock ellegante and loves it.
