I have a Babylock Ellisimo, a Brother XR-9000 for classes and a Singer 237 Fashion Mate that I am working to restore. Bought the Ellisimo with my retirement funds because I am worth it! If I could hsve any more machines, I would like the new Janome 12000, a Janome 4160QC for classes, a Janome 6500 and a HQ Sweet Sixteen sit down. May as well dream, right? (Oh if I ever had the chance to get all those, I would sell the Brother - I think - but not my Bella! The most amazing machine I have ever used!)
