I just purchased a Baby Lock Jane...........to replace my Brother 1500! EXACT same machine but since Brother has gone to a lot of plastic, I deceided to stay with the heavness I am used to. This machine only sews a simple striaght stitch but she will do to to PERFECTION everytime!!! I have FMQ up to a King size quilt without a frame....honestly, a bit big even for me!!! but baby, lap and twin sizes are a piece of cake!!!!!!!!!!!! With a good machine trade in, the price was about 600, I think retail was close to 1,000......but worth every penny....IMO!
