I have heard people talk about the new machine having Lavender knobs and the machines is see on line have dark navy looking knobs on the right side. Does this indicate any difference in the machines? Does anyone have any experience that would make them think there is any truth to this claim?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-21231976144162808622013-09-22T08:37:20.028-04:002013-09-22T08:37:20.028-04:00BTW, your site is so helpful.

I have literally had only one hour to play with my new machine, with just the basic manual, and I am already learning so much more from reading this. Can't wait to get back to putting it into practice. Your coverstitched examples are amazing btw, so clever and so many different applications.

I read your review about the Babylock but none of the shops in my area carry them in stock. My local store will order it for $1299. Do you still love your Babylock? Do you know if there are any major changes since you wrote the review?

When I was shopping for machines, the Brother was $799. My Babylock was a floor model and the dealer sold it to me for $800. If he hadn't matched the price, I probably would've bought the Brother due to Belinda loving hers. I do like that the Brother takes all types of regular sewing machine needles; the Babylock uses only CS-specific needles.Debbie Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03601675304884019607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-57892583998793527752011-06-22T01:37:09.266-04:002011-06-22T01:37:09.266-04:00Have you ever tried the Brother 2340?

I just can't seem to keep the machine going consistently enough to get the entire top elasticized. Have you tried this? Do you have any tips?Shirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05481856066664556687noreply@blogger.com
