Hi i have an Babylock Elegante 2 , that i got about 6 months ago. I have taken some lessons and made a few items. My local dealer used to sell Pfaff and was going to buy another one to do embroidery, i have an 2056 for sewing that i like and a Grandquilter for quilting that i really love. He just left Pfaff dealership and went to Babylock and he talked me into buying this machine instead. He said that Babylock is simpler to understand and operate and I haven't have had any trouble doing so, for me 20 miles in the country makes simple what i want. He had planned on handling both lines of sewing machines, but that Pfaff isn't as good as it was orginately.
