I got mine from the states becaus ethe one i wanted was not available in canada - mine is brother se400, not as fancy as your babylock but babylock/brother are an excellent brand and durable I would never buy another brand. I too had the experience with the more than 15yr old machine... mine was a janome and sounded lieka train... it never did what I thought it was supposed to...

I experienced similar failures myself. :o) I also completely identify with the joy (& sometimes fear!) you come to feel when you sit down at your machine and create something new. I am my own toughest critic...I pore over the stitches, scrutinizing every detail.<BR/><BR/>It was love at first stitch between myself and my new Janome. After counting my losses and ditching my first (cheap) machine, I was immediately dazzled by the smooth & quality mechanics of my second purchase. Brand new to sewing, I relied on the computerized speed settings (oh so slow, at first!)to work on getting my stitches straight. I still sometimes try to fight my machine, but I am getting better at listening to what it is trying to tell me. :o) Since it has much more experience than I do, I have placed my trust in its capable "hands!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469985320240790723.post-33787063339675805992008-01-10T19:36:00.000-08:002008-01-10T19:36:00.000-08:00SOOOOO jealous of your sewing machine!!
