Suggestions, please!
My Babylock Quest is in to see the doctor again. It keeps getting out of time. I know it happens when the thread gets messed up underneath, so I try to be careful not to have this happen. This is the 4th time I had to take the machine in to get fixed. My husband thinks I should trade it off and get a new machine. When the Quest is working good, I really like it.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a good machine to buy that is both a sewing and embrodiery

Babylock has machines that do everything but serve you coffee-got to play with them at a recent seminar-can't afford them though so if you have a BBBBBIIIIGGG budget they're an excellent machine

I found a Brother ES400 at Walmart, identical to a Janome that cost $229 more, the Brother came with an embroidery attachment. I haven't use that yet but will. I really like it and hope we have a long relationship. And the Janome didn't have the embroidery attachment. Heard they are both made by Janome.
I hesitate in saying this, but do you always start sewing with the thread takeup lever at its highest point? If I don't, I have a thread lock and that throws the timing off. When the thread takeup lever is at the very top, the thread in the needle and bobbin can be pulled without effort and I hold the ends till the machine starts sewing. When teaching sewing, that is the first thing I tell students to watch out for. Thread locks still happen to me.
