I have 3 baby lock machines love them all. #1 favorite is my Ellisimo, #2 is my Baby Lock Quilter Quest and #3 my babylock Decorator's choice, which I take to classes. All are very ez to use. and not fussy at all, ez to clean out around the bobbins, great machines. I know what I paid for my Ellisimo, and saw one on the internet for about $1800.00, can't see why they are selling it so cheap. I was looking for a picture to show some one my machine, put in on internet, picture of Baby Lock Ellisimo, and that came up. What a deal. I have had my Ellisimo a little over a year, no problems at all and do a lot of embroidery, heavy density patterns. If I have a problem I call the dealer to ask a question and they will walk me thru what ever I need. If you are not sure go to a dealer for a demo and or help.
