Thanks so much for your feedback. You've confirmed my belief that I should reconfigure my sewing area to allow for a more sturdy table no matter which machine I purchase.
I notice that lots of folks "love" their Brother and Juki machines, but I am not finding a lot of Babylock Jane "lovers". My dilemma is that my dealer sells only the Babylock and I do want to go through my dealer for support.
Any Babylock Jane "lovers" or "nonlovers" comments?
