Baby Lock Ellure Plus (BLR2)

This is my very first embroidery machine! I had to take classes to get all sorted out. Getting started in this amazing craft was not as hard as I thought. I got everything running smoothly just after a couple of days. The manual is great, but I would rather have someone teach me instead. I just work better that way. It embroiders really fast and is not loud. I think the maximum embroider speed is 650 spm. It comes with pre-installed designs and fonts and allows for editing on the built-in display screen. It can cut thread automatically and threading is a cinch. A hard cover is included with the purchase. Overall a great machine.
