    I have a Babylock Ellagio ESG3. It is a fantastic machine both for sewing and quilting. I have five hoop sizes and also purchased a separate giant hoop with electronics in it so I can do jacket backs and 14 X 14 inch embroideries. My daughter has a commercial Babylock and has had very good luck with it. They all do very good quality embroidery.

    I have a Brother Innovis 2500 and love it. It does a beautiful job and is very user friendly. Also sews great but I seldom use it for just sewing.

    I have the Brother 4500D which I love. It does more than I know how to do, connects to my computer if I want it to, sews like a regular machine like a dream. It is the exact duplicate of my daughter-in-law's Babylock machine except it was much cheaper. It isn't very noisy which is a wonderful feature because it is in the room with our most popular TV. I don't like to isolated from the family when i sew.

    My fist one was a Baby Lock. It did what I wanted it to but the weight was all on the motor side and it got to be too difficult to pick it up and move it to my work area.

    I ended up trading it in for a Pfaff CV which I dearly love. I figure it will be the last machine I buy ... other than my FW.
