Sorry to hear that you got bad reveiws on babylock products ,,But I can assure you have sew on nothing but babylock for 20 years and would not buy nothing else ,, had brother and singer but what most is not understanding is that some of these machines are made from the same company except that they have different models name and therefore you are still buying products from the same companys,,, like pants for example Route 66 ,Faded Glory,are made from the same peoples but different names... but as far as Babylock goes well JMHO I will not have nothing else Hope this help and good luck..
