I have the Ellisimo, BabyLock and it has many wonderful features = self threading, option to use the quilt foot up, needle down feature, great lighting, includes almost all the feet that you could need and BabyLock is including a special until the end of the year extendable table, thread stand, 82 embroidery designs, endless hoop. The machine is very user friendly. Good luck in your search. For your moneys worth I would go BabyLock
