Hi,
I also have an Elegante 2 and I absolutely love mine also! It does it all.....embroiders, quilts, threads itself just about, cuts the thread, cuts the jump threads when you embroider.....it's wonderful! Has four hoops...up to 11 x 7, 5 x 7, 4 x 4, and think the smallest is like 2 x 2.
I do also have an Ellure which embroiders, and had an Esante which I really liked a lot, but had a good deal offered to me for the Elegante and I traded the Esante in on it. I sew daily, work at my LQS, on my Ellure and at home on my Elegante. When I am embroidering on my Elegante and need to sew, I have a Decorator's Choice at home also.
You need to check different dealers and brands out and see which one offers you the features you are looking for in a machine.
I love my Babylocks........have 3.
Let us know what you decide. Have fun...you'll love it.
Bev
