I have a Babylock Ellegante. I love it. I had always wanted a sewing/embroidery machine with all the bells and whistles. My husband died at the age of 54, 3 months after being diagnosed with cancer in 2007. A few months later I bought the machine for %5200 with some of the life insurance money. Having something to absorb myself into really helped me through my grief. My interest in quilting was re-ignited and learning the embroidery has given me some joy through a difficult time.
