I have 4 Bro and a Babylock. Used to sell both. At that time Bro made Babylock for a time and then Babylock branched off to their own. Both machines are superfantastic in that they can do so much. They are easy to learn and can last forever with your taking proper care in between visits for yearly checkups. I also have an old Berina 830 with all feet that I sewed many a mile on it before getting into the retail business. While I retired many years ago I did buy another Bro, the 4000D, that I am extemely happy to be the owner of. Frankly I suggest either a Brother, Babylock or the Janome altho I am not personally familiar with it. I do have several friends who are very happy with their Janomes.
