Babylock Spirit vs BL Escante
I posted earlier this summer that my daughter was interested in getting an embroidery machine. She was just about ready to buy the Brother Dreammaker only to learn they had to move from OH to MN. There is a Babylock dealer in her new town and she is trying to decide between the Spirit ($3,800) which has a color screen, can do 7x10 field and is like the Dreammaker -or- the Escante ($2,500), a combo machine, 6x10 field but no color screen. Personally, I think she would prefer the color screen and enjoy having a dedicated embroidery machine. When she tried out the Dreammaker, she was really excited. We would love to hear any comments about either machine. I have a Deco 600 from the mid-90s which I haven't used in years, so I'm not much help. :-)
