I have the Ellegante 1. Got it when it 1st came out. Loved how it embroidered back then and that's basically what I used it for as it had the larger hoops than my old Viking D1. Now that I have the Viking Epic with even larger hoops I rarely use the Ellegante for anything. I'm so in love with the Viking regular sewing and love how you can set it to stop with the needle down which also brings the foot up just a titch so you can adjust the fabric. The Babylock doesn't do that. I'm thinking of getting rid of the Babylock as I have a simple Brother machine that does basic sewing when I need it.
The Babylock was a great machine in its day but I just don't use it much. Even got a couple of the magnetic hoops for it but then traded in the D1 for the Epic so its my "GO TO" machine these days.
