I used my BabyLock EMP6 to get my business started in October 2004 and used it continuously until December 2006 when I bought my first AmayaXT. The only hiccup I encountered with the transition was with software - I was told that I didn't need the Design Shop software, but the AmayaXT did NOT like the designs I brought over to it from my previous software. I ended up giving in and getting the DS 2 months later. Now I haven't used my EMP6 since February and am trying to sell it.

My goal was for it to pay for itself before I had to pay off the credit card (I got a year's free financing). It did! YIPEE! But, not I'm thinking I might like a machine that stitches faster and has a bigger design area, particularly for caps. Has anyone on this list made this same leap! And, if so, what have been your experiences in the changeover?
