I am comparing a baby lock Ellure vs. the Janome 9700. Any opinions?

The Janome has editing options on the machine and a color screen where the Ellure does not. I will be glad to discuss both machines with you. Just give us a call at 800-898-0893....We may have an upgrade option also.

I have a baby lock ellure and so I googled about bobbins and found that it would work in mine. I would suggest that you try that first.. Also I think that brother also makes baby lock Hope this helps. I am very satisfied with the thread and bobbin

I'm not sure about the Janome because I bought it to replace a Kenmore sewing machine. As long as the plug and depth are the same it should.

Funny you should ask............before I bought the Magnum Dynalab MD807 (which I love!) I ordered the Grace from Amazon. I was completely unimpressed -- it did the job, but the Sangean seemed to be better built and more functional. That was about two years ago, so I can't give a detailed reaction. But I repacked it in its original box and returned it to Amazon the very next day after I received it. No loss!

I'm not sure about your question since we decided not to use the Schlage lock. We found out that to use the user app you have to pay a monthly fee. So we used a Kwick lock instead. We really love the lock and has worked out very well for us.

I didn't notice any differences in either direction. The lock feature is a good idea for "professional use" in the field. Most people won't need it. I personally like to have it. It will get "smooth" after 3 to 6 months time.On a different subject; I have since returned my D600 due to the dust/oil problem. I have also tried 4 more D600s from different sellers. All had the same issue. Keep an eye on your, but not to wet clean it yourself since it'll void the warranty. I'll wait and try the D800 next, again, left AF focus problem.

I had the same situation - a couple of locking knobs and a couple of deadbolts, and it worked great for both, and I still have a few pins left over for another set if I want to someday. My locks are Schlage. I think all Schlage locks are pretty standard in the barrel design, its just the "fit & finish" (the look) that's different.

Hi! It's a good question! I had problems with it... Battery lasts less than a month! I don't lmow if my lock has a problem or all the locks are like that. Since I'm in Brazil, I couldn't ask for manufecturer help...

I cannot remember....I am sure you can go online with Singer and see...or YouTube. I bought the more expensive model because it did have, I think, more stitch designs, it also cuts thread and I felt for a little extra money, I would go with the best, as it might be my last machine. I test drove the Bernina, Viking, Baby Lock.....I hate my Janome, which is why I was trying to find a better machine overall....I felt the Bernina is a rip-off...women ooh and ah over it to beat the band, but honestly....for the thousands of dollars and the fact that feet are $50.00 each and more...it is an advertising schmooze. Getting women to believe the Bernina is the best is just that...a schmooze! Viking and Singer are now made at the same manufacturing plant....Brother and Baby Lock are made by the same company, also. I have a stand alone embroidery machine by Janome...and I have a Babylock Serger (it's awesome)....and of all the machines I own..,.if I have a project....I go immediately to my Singer Quantum Stylist....it has the strength and the power and all the stitch designs I will ever need...it is much easier to program than the Brother...easier to thread than the Brother...is quieter than the Brother and when it cuts the thread it is MUCH quieter than the Brother and I cannot imagine a project other than sewing awning canvas that it can't do. If you are going to sew awning canvas, then get a mechanical machine...don't be fooled by the word COMMERCIAL....get a TRUE hardcore mechanical machine that doesn't do anything but sew straight stitches

Those two alignment pins are a pain in the ass! I would go with different locking tuners if I had to do it over again. I'm very fond of the Wilkinson design. It's elegantly simple with no moving parts. They're easy to install and cost a lot less.

I purchased the brushed nickel, and both the deadbolt and the main lock can be locked without a key from the inside. The hardware has a nice satisfying feel and sound of quality and security. I put my deadbolt higher as that is recommended for safety, it is too high to kick in. I was told to do that years ago when I lived in a city.

No. No lock on this particular model but I believe there is a version that has a lock. Check around or look on the Schlage website.

Since I have both I would say the E-tool is better when it comes to utility. It is more versatile. Given my experience with Gerber though it probably is more durable and higher quality. The e-tool typically lasts me a year and then I have to replace it. I do tend to abuse it though and usually will opt for the cheaper knock-off version as opposed to the branded version which is a little more expensive and is probably better made.

I think Baby Lock is made by Brother (or vice versa) and think they would work, but I'm not positive. I can tell you Amazon's service is wonderful and if you bought them you could try one to see. You would know in a minute if works for you or not. I've never had a problem returning anything to Amazon. I have found these bobbins are so tightly wound and slightly overwound, it helps to pull a yard or two off before using them. I would suggest you call a Baby Lock Dealer as ask if they carry them for your machine. Hope this helps a tiny bit. They work great on my Brother ULT 2001 and my Pfaff 7570.

I'm not familiar with a lot of different machines. I have a Janome 2212 which is a very basic model and it works well with it. I used to have my grandmother's singer and this walking foot worked well with it also. Seems to be pretty versatile. HTH

No, you're not!! When the 830 behaves good - she is very, very good. When she is bad she is horrid!!! There were quite a few issues with the machine when it first hit the shops however, I can say quite honestly after a few trips to Bernina for upgraded parts mine is working the way it should and I am happy with it. My only gripe with it is the size of the hoops-from small to gigantic with no decent in between size like a 150 x 150 square or. 200 x 200 square and there are thousands of other people who would like this size of hoop but Bernina doesn't respond. If you are having trouble with your 830 you can always send it directly to Bernina in Cardiff and they will service/repair it for you.
