I had an Ellure Plus and upgraded the next day to an Ellageo Plus. The Ellure was a pain to use, couldnt see the image on the monitor. Just too much hassle. I belong to an embroidery group and a few have had the Ellure and upgraded. My suggestion is to upgrand or forget it. The other one to avoid is the Esante. It wont use a flash drive. Has to be connected to a computer all the time. Go to babylock.com to see the specs on each machine then decide
