I was in need of a new machine after the motor in my well used Husquvarna sewing machine packed it in. I did some research and have been very happy with this BabyLock. I can sew any type of material from leather to the finest chiffons and the machine will automatically adjust tensions. It has been put through a lot of paces over the last few years and has given me no problems at all. There are lots of embroidery stitches included in the machine and sewing a buttonhole is the easier I’ve ever had on a machine. One of my favourite features is the self threading needle!
