^^^ I agree! Enjoy the process!!
I just bought a Babylock Crescendo. I'm in love! It does everything but the dishes, and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to teach it that soon.
I like the size of the machine itself, the lighting is fabulous, it does everything you could ever want. Thread cutters everywhere, needle threader, bobbin sensor, 8 directional sewing, foot up or down, needle up or down. Electronic pen, that I haven't tried yet. The laser light is awesome!! Saves so much time not having to pin!
