    After searching on ebay for the past five months for a sewing machine I finally purchased a Babylock Esante.
    It came with so much stuff I was patient and got a deal. Its a sewing/embroidery with quilting table, emboidery unit, cases, cover and all kinds of stuff.
    I really hope I can learn the embroidery part.

    It's really going to be hard to use it standing on it's head! Sorry, my mischievous nature is coming out today! You will love it, Baby Lock has excellent machines.

    Lucky you. The Esante is a really nice machine and does beautiful embroidery. I hope you have a LQS that might have some classes for you. You can teach yourself (I did) but it is more fun if you can take a class and learn from others. Have fun!

    I also have an Esante and love it. It takes a little time to work out everything but it is fun just playing with all the features. I have a workbood that came with mine too and just started at the beginning and went throught to the end. If you don't have the workbook, it would be worth the $$ to buy one so you get to know everything about the machine. You are going to have fun!!

    lucky you sometimes it definitely pays to be patient..I am patiently waiting for the price of the Janome Horizon to come down and I think I will have to be very patient for a while as i think prices arent coming down fast..
