Congrats! You will absolutely love this machine!!!
I've had my Esante for 3 years now and it's only been in the shop this year for cleaning. Yeah, I got yelled at (nicely though) about waiting so long.
It's a very easy machine to learn and has some tricks I didn't know about until I had it a while.
One really nice feature is there is a "lockout" at the top so if you have a stitch set up and little hands around, they can't accidentally change your stitch.
Any questions you have, just PM me and I'll help however I can. I LOVE my Babylock and the Esante is a great machine!!!
Have Fun!
