Is this a new model? I have the BL crescendo for general use, quilters pro for just straight stitching which I bought years ago to go on a Grace frame (which I no longer use), and the mid arm coronet for quilting. I like them all. I had a BL xcape which is light weight for classes but gave it to my daughter when she went off to college. BL comes out with a lot of new machines and sometimes just changes the name like my quilters pro was changed to the Jane and the xcape was changed to the Audrey.
