Babylock Brilliant??
I have been looking for a new machine lately and a store recommended a Babylock Brilliant. Anyone have one or know about this? I have a Janome 6500 and the features on the Brilliant are a little more user friendly for me. I like the free arm, better lighting, and the self threading feature. Online there are a few articles about a threading problem, I do not know what they are talking about. The dealer has a trade in that looks brand new with items still packaged, but it is only $200 less than a new one. He also offers lessons and a 2 year warranty. I do not need many decorative stitches, but giving up the space is a minus for the machine.
Merry Christmas!!

looks interesting.
the only price i saw for it was about $1,800.
that's less than you'll have to pay for a janome with similar features.
one important warning, though ...
it will not sew well over lumpy seams.
those have given me fits on every single Brother and Babylock i have sewn on - regardless of price.

I only use one of two straight stitch only machines. One is the Babylock Jane and I don't have problems sewing over seams. Straight stitch only probably is the difference.
Good luck making your decision.
