Babylock has a new machine that I think is the one I would get if I were to replace mine. It has a tablet where you can draw a design and then the sewing machine itself will convert the drawing to an embroidery machine design that the machine will sew out for you. This seems to me to be a feature that will eliminate the software digitizing program need, let you use all the original designs you want and still it does everything previous generations has done. I just don't see how it can be beat - all cheaper than the price of a good used car - or a really nice vacation. However, don't confuse it with a bargain basement machine.
