I bought an Babylock embellasher and have never used it -it is about 2yrs old. not really into that kind of sewing - I am a quilter and sewer, it was the moment of time and bingo - got it. now I have learned to go home and sleep on a product before I jump the gun... this was an interesting blog - many items like rulers, books, thimbles etc I agree I have not used but the machine was the most expensive and waste of money...
