I finally decided and it's a Baby Lock!

[KimH]

After reading tons of reviews and posts and comparing machines I made a decision and I'm now the proud mama of a Baby Lock Crescendo. I considered the Bernina 750 and the Pfaff Creative Performance. I liked the Pfaff but I currently sew on a Brother PC 420 and the Baby Lock is VERY similar in a lot of ways but lots more bells and whistles. I am in love with the lights, pivot feature and the laser guide. I even tested some fmq and got very good results and I am not that good- trust me! I can't wait to really dig in and play with it this weekend! I am a happy happy camper and just had to share! DH is going to be sick of hearing me talk about it.

I LOVE the Babylock machines. I have owned many of the top of the line machines, including Bernina, Elna, and Janome, and I have never sewn on a machine that I love as much as my Ellegante 2. You will adore your new friend.

At the sew expo I tried out the Aria and fell in love. So congrats on the Crescendo. By the time my budget allows the expense I may look at the Crescendo instead. Please do share your experience in using all the features.

I am currently drooling over the Crescendo, and hope to have one by the end of this year. Trying to find a good price.

Thanks for sharing my happiness! I quilted a quilt for charity and put the binding on. It was a good way to get familiar with the machine and I love it! I used the fmq foot, the digital dual feed and the laser line feature. The machine is very easy to use and the instruction manual is clear in most places. I had the most difficulty understanding how they wanted me to put the spool of thread on the pin of all things. The instructions seemed the opposite of how It went on with my Brother machine. Sure enough when I had it all on the way I thought they were telling me to do it, I could just tell that it was wrong so I did it the way I knew with my other machine and that was definitely the right thing to do. I don't think they did a very good job explaining this bit and the picture in the manual wasn't much help. Once I got past that everything was a breeze! Next step is to figure out using the sensor pen!
