Re: Babylock Audrey - I have a small Babylock 9 for my lightweight (what?? No Featherweight??) travelling pal & I like how it stitches. It has a few decorative stitches, sews a very nice straight stitch, serves me well for away-from-home piecing and sewing. I also have a Babylock Quilter's Choice & do like the service I get locally for these machines. |

The Start/Stop button is one of my absolute favorite features about this machine. I use it for free-motion quilting, because I can't seem to get the hang of my hands and feet moving in tandem with each other. So I just set the speed control, press that button and I'm off and running! No need to be coordinated (LOL), I just concentrate on where my hands are moving the quilt.
It's also great for things like sewing long strips together. For that, you can set the machine at top speed and zip along after pressing the S/S button - no need to keep the "pedal to the metal" with your foot. |

I can't tell you how much I love (and use) that feature. My "main" sewing machine has it (Singer Quantum L-500), as does my other little workhorse machine (Kenmore 16231). Don't think I could ever live without it again!

I just looked at it in Allbrands. It looks nice and sounds great for what you need it for

I'm going to go to Joanne's to look at the machine. I wonder if you can use the 50% Off coupon for it (LOL).
