I have a Babylock Ellegante and a Babylock Sophia II. Love them both. My Ellegante is great. I have an extension table and the machine does embroidery too. I've had it nearly 10 years. But it is too big to take to classes, camping, etc. So last year I bought the Sophia. Also does embroidery, but doesn't have all the bells and whistles that my Ellegante does. Still it's a great machine. I paid $700 for it but I've seen them in sale for $400.
