Brother does manufacture most of BabyLock's machines, and all that do embroidery units. They are exactly the same as the comparable Brother machine, down to the stitch and most embroidery designs. Brother has Disney and BabyLock has Nancy Zieman designs - otherwise identical. Yes they are separate companies, but BabyLock contracts with Brother to produce their machines.

Go have fun trying them out, get the sales pitch and do your own comparison. Of all the threads here on machines I have not read one that warns of any bad brand machines.
