Waving hello from Maryland! If I need to get a new machine, I shall probably go with BabyLock, have FW, Sears Kenmore purchased in 1970 while in high school ( the only new machine I've ever had) used Bernina with embroidery (which I love) Husky serger ( given to me since the other person wanted it so much ha ha ha) The Kenmore has been a workhorse.
