I own the Babylock Quilter's Choice, which I think has been renamed the Melody. Bought it in 2006, since then the automatic thread cutter has been replaced twice and the bobbin case area needed work at the manufacturer due to no grease. I think I bought a lemon. However since they finally fixed it, it has been a great machine. I sew 6 to 8 hours everyday. I wish it did have a bigger throat area for machine quilting.
