Congratulations on your new baby! LOl! I own the Babylock Spirit and I love it! I've owned Babylock for a few years now started with the Babylock Accent, 4x4 embroidery. Sold that one and upgraded to the babylock ellure. Traded that one for the newer ellure then recently traded that one in for the Spirit and I have never looked back! Enjoy your new toy and i agree he's a keeper!
