I was given a Baby-Lock for Christmas and love everything about it. I have sewn since I took Home Economics in High School (tells you how old I am). I’ve made everything from place mats to prom dress with curtains in between. Love to see young women passionate about sewing.

I have a Pfaff 7570 embroidery machine but it is hard to find places that will work on or clean this machine.

I have a Baby-Lock machine and I love all that it can do. I make Barbie and Ken outfits and the machine has worked great, and no I would not part with it. Everything I have made has turned out exactly the way it should. I make a lot of my own patterns for B & K and they also turn out great. So there it is, I love my machine. It does have a lot of different patterns of sewing that I have not used them all – Yet. Maybe I will be able to figure them all out and then use the different patterns of sewing. Wish me luck!

I have the same machine. Bought it in 2008 and have always loved it. I’ve tortured it by sewing Capri Sun bags (8 layers in some spots), ruffled burlap tree skirt, my first quilt, burlap costume, iPad covers, and many jeans have been hemmed. I did break a needle on the latest iPad pouch with about 10 layers of fabric in some spots ( bias tape around outer edges.) Phew! That baby was tough, but I went slow and this machine hung in there with me.

When I made my first quilt and did my first ever free-motion quilting, I thought I smelled hot plastic, but needless to say, it is still going strong. My only negative on this machine would be the harp space and it’s slow speed.

I would love to go to a faster machine and have been researching the Brother DreamWeaver series or Janome 8900, or the Juki 2010q (?). Can’t afford anything right now, but I’m saving and dreaming.

Sorry for writing a book, but I love talking machines. Thanks so much for sharing your machine talk.

Have a great day.
