Your husband was so thoughtfulto buy you a machine...Had you already picked it out, or did he do that also? Also, does anyone out there have a Baby Lock Ellisimo Model BLSO...My DH bought me one after I had picked it out in June of this year. This is the secone time it has been in the shop and it has been gone for 3 weeks this time. I am really disappointed and would gladly take my $9000.00 and run but they assure me they are going to fix this one. I really wanted to make some things for christmas but due to the problems I am having, don't guess I will. Let me know if you have one and if you have had any problems. :cry: :(
