I have a BabyLock have had it for years and I love it. My only problem is when I have had to take it for repair the place isn't that good any more............... The last time I had it in it took 8 weeks the repair guy is a jerk............ They were the only place around for BabyLock but now there is another place about 20 miles closer that I will use if I need repair again. I have only had it in 3 times in 6 years. Mine is an older one so I can't speak for the newer ones. But make sure that you have a good place to take it in times of need. Good Luck........... on your search. And yes I would by another BabyLock Embroidery Machine.............. Brother and BabyLock are made by the same company.
