I have a Bernina and a Pfaff have also used Babylock they are nice machines but I love my Bernina but it is also important to buy where you have the closest dealer as there are always questions to ask and most dealer shops have free classes which I highly recommend my Bernina shop has free classes for life and they are so helpful there are lots of models to choose from happy shopping and what a wonderful person you are to do this for someone
Merry Christmas
