Just another note on Brother vs. Babylock - exact same machines, exact same parts, exact same assembly line and the only difference comes when the programming is done and the cover goes on. Not one mechanical difference between them. I work on both all the time and I order and replace the same parts for the same machines. Babylock spends a great deal more on their packaging but who cares about the box the accessory foot comes in (or bag if it's from brother)??
