I don't think this is spam, because I'm not selling anything. I've
been watching a Babylock Encore machine on eBay that is like one I own
and am astounded that no one is bidding on it. (I own several
machines so that the grands can sew along too then they visit.) While
not the world's greatest machine (I only say that because it doesn't
have an adjustment for the presser foot pressure, but then my Pfaff
1171 doesn't either), the Babylock Encore is a dandy machine with a
lot of automatic stitches, a type of needle up/down, a wonderful
needle threader, and a buttonhole function I really love. If the
seller is bona fide, and is including the manual as well as all the
feet, and the machine is in good condition, this machine is a steal.
It's starting at $199. I paid over $1,000 for mine new 11 years ago.
Anyone interested would need to ask the seller a lot of questions,
because the description is pretty sparse. (May be why no one is
bidding.) Make sure seller knows how to pack machines for shipping.
Ask about a manual. My Encore takes Elna and Brother pressure feet, if
anyone would want more. This is in no way to be taken as a warranty
for this machine. Just worth a look.

My own favorite machine is a Viking #1+ that I bought used from the
local dealer 3 years ago. Then there is my departed DMIL's Singer 301
and an older 60's Kenmore with a nice straight stitch and zig zag, as
well at the Pfaff and Babylock. Not to mention my Pfaff coverlock and
an earlier White serger. (Right, I'm talking myself out of buying
another machine.)
