this is a huge investment and I don’t want to make a mistake. Thank you for your help.
WOW. Looks impressive and also very expensive! I do not own any babylocks. I would really ask myself how much am I going to use the features on this machine? How is the embroidery I am going to do on it going to be used? I did a lot of embroidery on my first embroidery machine. A Viking D1, well...a lot of the embroidery I did is sitting in a box in my closet filed under "orphan blocks". I did enjoy it....but...in reality most of the stuff I made did not get used. Now I did purchase a new embroidery capable machine ( in fact two of them) but I aimed more for the mid range cost level. Really depends on what you want and what your budget is. I have made mistakes with some of the machines I have bought and others have been real workhorses. I tell my friends that my sewing machine hobby has grown into a monster! tee hee....but it did keep me out of the bars and designer clothing stores!
