I am afraid my beloved Elna's Quilters Dream is reaching her old age and may quit on me, so I want to be prepared. I want something similar, no embrodiery unit.(I have one I want to sell).
My question for you is:
Do any of you have the Babylock Quilters Choice, and would you buy it again? What am I looking at for cost? I need to stay at or under $1000.00.

Hi,
I own three Babylock machines, although I do not have the Quilters Choice, I had a Decorators Choice and that is very similar.....loved it!
I do have an Ellure and it's a fabulous machine, use it every day at the LQS I work at doing samples.
I also have two bigger Babylocks, an Elegante 2 and the new Symphony.
I think you'd really be happy with the Quilters Choice, my machines have all been trouble free.

I have the BabyLock Crafters Choice. Love it. I have had it for almost a year. I am trading it later this week for a Quest Plus, because the Quest Plus has the Dual Feed. Feeds from top and bottom. Much better for quilting. Last years model/ $999.00
Very anxious to get it. My sister has a Quilters Choice and loves it.

If you haven't bought yet, the time may be coming. The Quest Plus is due to be replaced by the Serenade and may be available at a better price. I paid too much ( $1300) for mine, but love it. Just look at the similar machines-Pfaff Smarter C1100Pro, Elna 7300, and Janome 6600 first to make sure you love your choice.

I want the free arm and the janome 6600 does not have one. The price I was quoted over the phone for the Quest Plus does seem a little high at $1350 or there abouts. I was hoping for closer to $1000 -$1200. I don't have time to go to the shop until the 31st. Can't help but wonder if there might be a sale in the middle of Janurary.
