I went to try out the Eclipse and bought an Imagine Wave. I had no intention of buying that day, but the sale price at a very reputable shop - Nancy's Notions of Beaver Dam Wi. was too good to pass up. I had looked online and found wonderful reports about all of the Baby Locks, but I need the threader part so I am thrilled. The ebay price is much higher than I paid with the warranty and classes included. I am so happy!! Thanks for helping me and enjoy your serger.
