Last year for my retirement gift to me from me, I bought an Ellisimo sewing and embroidery machine and an Enlighten serger, both by Babylock. I also bought Koala furniture to house them. Because I bought everything together I received a large discount on all of it. It was like getting some of it free. This is the first time in my life I have had a place to sew and do so with wonderful machines. I've made to with cast offs and card tables until now. I have no regrets of my wonderful me gift. It is such a pleasure to sew with the ellisimo. I really love this machine.
