I have two baby locks. I love them both. Their both now older models but both have so many stitches and both embroidered. Still getting the hang of the stableizers and placement. Not sorry I bought either one when I did. Good luck in choosing a new machine. I think one of the most important part of a new machine is finding an honest person to work with in answering all your questions and really helping you before and after you buy.not some one who just wants to make a sale.
