I am not 100% certain, but I believe the Jewel is made by Handiquilter. A Brother rep told me this at one of the Quilt Festivals. That same person told me that Babylock has no factory. All the machines are made by Brother.
I have a baby Brother, Project Runway, from WalMart that is a little workhorse. It's lightweight, easy to take to class and has a reasonably good stitch. And, I have a Brother Innovis 4000D, which, I believe, was the first embroidery/sewing combination that cut the jump stitches when doing embroidery. That machine is about 7 years old and has been in the shop a couple of times. All the computerization makes it a bit more temperamental, but I do love that machine. It was the top of the line when I bought it. Now the new Dream Machine is calling my name. I really want the ability to do embroidery in the bigger hoops. They are good machines.
