I bought the Crescendo today. I went to the store, quilt sandwiches in hand, and spent an hour on the Unity...which I was told is the same machine as the Crescendo, but with embroidery as well.
i get my Crescendo on Wednesday. They have to bring it from one of their other store locations.
Thank you everyone for answering my questions and sharing your insight.

I found a video that helped me to use the sensory pin and the needle beam. The video is not from Baby Lock.

I really am impressed with all of the features I have mastered on Crescendo.

I just watched the Brad Martin video on the laser beam and sensor pen, thank you so much for posting that link!! I had the laser pretty much figured out, and have used the pen, but now understand the message it gives and why. Very good video and I have shared it with some friends who have the Unity. I love my Crescendo!!!
Thanks!

Well, I'm here again about the Crescendo. Someone here mentioned that they purchased at one dealer for less than at another dealer's price. I somehow don't think I'm being given the best quote when I asked for their best price. I was going to make a trip across town (not easy for this old lady, but a friend was going to take me) to see the Crescendo. I called to see if the person I had been speaking with would be available to demonstrate the machine to me. At that time, she told me she was glad that I called, because they "had to sell the demonstrator" to another lady, and did not have one in the store to show me. DRATS!!!!! I certainly would have bought the demonstrator had she told me it was available. I feel a little annoyed that she didn't let me know early on that I could buy the demonstrator. I certainly would have already done it. I am being quoted $4200 plus tax, and would receive a $300 visa gift card, and if I bought before the end of Feb.....I would get another Visa for $100. I guess I could sum this up by asking.......what should I expect to pay for the Crescendo from a dealer? Is there an online source, or only local dealers?

Help with connecting threads thread
Another vote for the Crescendo. I've had mine almost a year and I love it! It will sew through anything and any thickness of quilt. It also loves my favorite thread from Connecting Threads--and the laser light I can't say how much time that has saved me. When I'm doing straight line quilting, I don't have to mark the quilt, just hold a small ruler about 8 inches away on the quilt and aim the laser for that. Works like a charm.

I have an Aria i just got and have a ton of thread from connecting threads. However when I tried using it, blue on bottom and cream on top, the tension was all wrong. Couldn't find a good setting. Could you please share your settings on using the thread? I too love this thread. Thank you so much in advance
