I have a Baby Lock Sophia that I bought as my first embroidery machine, and it is just wonderful. It is limited to a maximum embroidery field of 5x7, but even after I bought my much bigger embroidery machine I've found that in most cases a 5x7 hoop is plenty big enough for 95% of the embroidery I do. PM me if you are interested in learning more about this machine - I might be ready to sell it.
