I have 3 machines. I love them all. They are all very EZ to use. My #1 favorite is my Baby Lock Ellisimo, it is expensive but so EZ to work. Then I have the Baby Lock Quilter Quest. I do most of my regular sewing on that one, it wasn't cheap either. The one I take to class is my Baby Lock Decorator's choice and that is one 10th of the price of the Ellisimo, love them all. I have had everything from White's, Singers, Elna, and Brother's and I feel I have the best for me right now. I can clean them all I know how to take the bobbin areas apart to do that. You just can't believe how much lint gets in the bobbin cases from all of the cotton fabric's we use today. Sewing Machines are like car's and it's all in what you like.
