Babylock Ellisimo sewing and embroidery machine $1400 

This machine comes with lots of extras. Great opportunity to venture into machine embroidery with a fabulous Babylock machine. Included in this package are the following: 

• Babylock machine model BLSO with embroidery arm 

• Four embroidery hoops plus bonus hoop 

• Hard side case for hoops and embroidery arm 

• Jewel case with feet and accessories 

• Thread spool stand 

• Soft side case for feet and accessories with extra feet 

• Ellisimo Instruction and Reference Guide 

This machine is in good working order. The embroidery feature has been tested and works beautifully. It sews smoothly and creates beautiful stitches. If you would like to see the machine in action and test drive it, send me a text at 808-651-4630.  

This machine model is listed on multiple sites priced at well over $2400 by sellers in other parts of the country. Those machines do not come with the hoop case and extra items. Included in this price is a service appointment with a Babylock service technician to be performed on October 4. Buying local will allow you to test the machine and also avoid hefty shipping fees as well as the obvious danger of exposing delicate electronics to the rigors of the shipping process.

Who’s ready to turn two neckties into a stylish zipper pouch?

Your FREE kit includes:

• Two coordinating men’s ties
