I was in Texas at my sister's house a couple weeks ago. We went to a fabric outlet/Babylock dealer and we were talking to the lady that works there. My sister had purchased her serger from her last year. I looked at the biggest embroidery/sewing machine that Babylock sold. I can't remember the name of it, but it has the largest hoop and is 10 or 11 thousand dollars. I mentioned to the lady selling them that it looked very much like the big Brother machine. She said "Yes, Brother makes that machine for Babylock." Well, that big Brother machine is priced at $8500.00 out here where I take my machines in for repairs. I don't know if Brother makes any of the other machines for Babylock. It might be worth it to ask a dealer.
