Babylock Decorator's Choice

Aug 02, 2007 3 Replies

Does anyone have any comments about this machine? I just picked one up at a store that's discontinuing the brand and now I'm wondering if I was too hasty. (I bought the floor model, so I can't actually take the machine until all his stock has sold...probably a week or so.)


I checked on WebCrawler to see what you'd bought. It seems to have every feature a body could want. All I know about Babylock is that IF I ever bought an embroidery machine, that's the brand I'd go with; don't have any experience with Baby's sewing machines. Hold your breath and turn blue if they try to send you home without an instruction manual; that beautiful machine has a heap of features you'll want to learn. Polly

They're giving me free lessons [as well as the manual, extra feet etc.]. I may end up buying the extension table, although I also own a Babylock Quilter's choice professional that I use for freemotion stuff.

Now I have three granddaughters, I'm finding I'm doing some garment sewing as well as quilting. This machine had the four features I was looking for, at a price that was within reason [$700 Cdn.]: needle up/down; knee lifter; decent blanket-stitch and buttonholer;and built-in thread cutter. I have been happy with my other machine, so I'm cautiously optimistic about this one.
