Does anyone know what the difference between these two machines is? Is the motor in the Grace better quality? I'm thinking of upgrading to one of these machines and am curious as to others' experiences with either (or both) of these machines.

I think the grace has more features than the audrey. The grace is a brother made machine, not sure who the audrey is made by. I think the grace is the innovis 40 if I am not mistaken, and the rachel is the 40e the replacement for the grace.

I have had a Babylock Audrey for over 3 years, and just love her! She is VERY light weight, and portable. I have used her to piece several quilts (up to twin size as the throat distance isn't huge) and have quilted several baby quilts on her. I did buy the separate walking foot for the quilting. Just took her in for her first cleaning and no problems at all. She has about 20 different decorative stitches, but I just mostly use the straight stitching anyway. Not familiar with the Grace.

You can go to babylock.com, then products where can pick 2-3 different machines and do a comparison. However Grace is no longer on the list. I think I remember that is was discontinued.

I a BL Grace- I love it!! It is very light weight and sews beautifully. I use the Grace for piecing and my Ellegante 2 for quilting.
