I bought a Babylok Imagine several years ago. I love it! I also have a Bernina (a very nice one) but I got so frustrated trying to thread the loopers. The thing that sold me on the Babylok is the auto threading. You just press a button. I'm sure you could probably find a good used one at a Babylok dealer for around $500. They are around $1000 new. But so worth it. I love mine. Wonderful for seaming garments, edging napkins, rolled hem on anything, etc.
