Well, the sales rep and I sat down to try it out and it wouldn't work, she said she had to reboot it. After doing that 3 times she said, "well it will do this, and that, and so on". I left there and went to the other sewing store in town and they are Baby Lock dealers and Janome dealers. Sat at the Ellegante, sewed, embroidered, so easy, comfortable and "classy". Fell in love, and have been on a honeymoon every since!
