I have a Baby Lock Quest and love it!
|
I have a babylock that is quite old, still running just great. Haven't used it much lately as I use a Bernina the most.
|
I have a Horn cabinet that I got over 10 years ago. I absolutely love it and can't imagine not having it. It is
sturdy and spacious. I paid much much more than that for it. If the cabinet isn't abused that's a good deal... even excluding the machine. |
My sewing machine mechanic says Baby Locks and Brothers are the best machines being made today, so go for it.

I also have a Babylock Enlighten Serger and love it. Have had it a little over a year now and use it regularly. No issues AT ALL. My personal opinion is that Babylock makes a quality, reliable product and I wouldn't buy anything else. Not familiar with the one you mentioned but would suggest you sit down at it and try it out to see if you like it. I converted my quiliting buddy to Babylock. She was an avid Janome fan but now has the Babylock Symphony and loves it. |
Even if you just end up with a good cabinet, it would still be a good deal in my opinion !

What a wonderful deal!! I have 3 babylock machines and love them all. I would get that deal even though I don't need any more machines. Have fun :)

I bought the Horn sewing/craft table at a quilt show about 7 years ago. It's a humongous, drafting table height cutting table with two swing out table top pieces so I can make it longer or shorter. It has the cutout and the lowering feature for my machine and a full set of drawers on one side. I can cut out my quilts on one side and sew on the other and it's tall enough so I don't have to bend over and hurt my back. Obviously, it's the love of my life and one of the best purchases I've ever made! It was priced about the same as the smaller table and they threw in a chair so I was happy about the deal I was getting. Even better, they discontinued the model so I got it just in time. I don't like the newer model.
I think that you are going to be as thrilled with the table as you are with the machine. What a joy to leave the dining room to be the dining room and have your own space! |
I'd buy it just for the cabinet. If the machine works well it's a bonus.
|
The cabinet is worth more than that and even if you don't like the machine you can sell that. Best deal all ways around.
