I absolutely LOVE Babylock. I have the Symphony and it's been the greatest machine I have ever owned. I used to only occasionally sew and had cheaper Singer machines that I bought in stores like Target. My husband told me 3 years ago to get a better machine and I chose the Babylock Symphony. I have not stopped sewing since. I recently bought a smaller "Sophia II" so I could have something lighter to take with me when needed and I love it too. It also has embroidery so I'm able to do 4" x 4" embroidery stuff. I swear by Babylock. Very easy to use.
