Baby Lock Ellisimo Gold Embroidery & Quilting Machine – Upgrades I, II, III • Sew Ready • Complete Package

This machine has been a joy to sew on and has produced beautiful embroidery and quilting projects over the years. It has been cared for properly, stored indoors in a sewing studio environment, and comes with an exceptional amount of original accessories

This was my personal machine before becoming a dealer and before transitioning into the full Janome line. This machine has been well maintained and respected, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to someone looking for a high-quality embroidery, quilting, and sewing machine.

What I love most about this machine is how smooth and solid it feels while sewing. The stitch quality is beautiful, embroidery is detailed and precise, and it handles quilting projects wonderfully. The touchscreen is easy to use, and the embroidery editing features still compete well with many newer machines.

This machine also includes the BLSO upgrade system with Upgrade Kits I, II, and III installed. These official Baby Lock upgrades expanded the machine’s embroidery and editing capabilities and are a huge bonus for anyone familiar with the Ellisimo Gold series.

This is an amazing machine for someone ready to move from a beginner machine into something more advanced without spending the cost of a brand-new luxury machine. It’s also perfect for an intermediate or experienced sewist wanting a reliable embroidery and quilting machine that can truly do it all. Machines like this were built to last and, with proper care, can easily serve someone for many years to come.

This is not a stripped-down machine package. It includes:• Embroidery unit• Multiple hoops including the extra-large hoop• Sew Steady extension table• Original hard case• Carry bags• Manuals and instructional binders• Extra feet and accessories• Thread stand• Upgrade Kits I, II, and III installed• Original storage trays and accessories

Everything has been kept organized and together, which is hard to find with these older premium embroidery machines. Well maintained, recently serviced.

I’ve included photos of projects stitched on this machine so you can see the stitch quality for yourself. It still sews and embroiders beautifully and would make an amazing machine for someone who loves quilting, embroidery, appliqué, or sewing in general.

Ready to sew and embroider immediately. No missing pieces, no guessing, and no hunting down accessories separately.

Machines this complete are getting harder to find.

This machine is ready to create on the day you bring it home — at a fraction of the cost of buying a new premium embroidery machine.

Two weekends down… one more to go and these quilts are already stunning. 🧵✨

When we started this Scrappy Log Cabin Quilt class, some people were unsure how all those different pieces and colors would come together. But now? The excitement in the room says everything. ❤️

These ladies trusted the process, showed up, encouraged each other, and created something beautiful together.

What makes this even more special?
This was an everything provided class. Fabric was cut and ready, guidance was there every step of the way, and all everyone had to do was come sew, learn, laugh, and enjoy the process.

A huge thank you to our wonderful teacher, Iris Cunningham, for sharing her talent, patience, and love for quilting with all of us. The confidence and joy growing in this room each week is exactly why we do what we do at The Wisteria. 💛

One more weekend and these quilts will be complete — and we cannot wait to see the finished masterpieces. ✨

🧵✨ Today we officially finished HALF of our Log Cabin Quilt blocks… 30 blocks done and an amazing quilt already coming to life.

What started as stacks of fabric is slowly turning into something beautiful — one piece at a time. And honestly? That’s the magic of quilting. You just keep sewing and trust the process. ❤️

Today was filled with good friends, laughter, encouragement, and lots of sewing machine hums. We were even excited to have Carla jump in and sign up today to join us next week! Her pieces are already cut and ready — now all we do is sew and let the quilt come together.

To Judy and Peggy… I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of both of you for letting go of the need for perfection and simply trusting the process. That’s where the beauty happens. Thank you for showing up, creating, laughing, and making this class so special.

This quilt is becoming more than fabric and thread. It’s becoming memories stitched together. ✨

🧵 Log Cabin Quilt Class at The Wisteria 🧵

There’s something timeless about a log cabin quilt… each block telling its own little story, built piece by piece into something beautiful and lasting.

In this class, we’ll create a classic log cabin quilt using a 5 x 6 layout of 12” blocks, just like the one shown here. Each block comes together in a simple, satisfying way—perfect whether you’re newer to quilting or just ready to slow down and enjoy the process.

Over the course of three class days, we’ll walk through:
✨ Understanding the log cabin layout
✨ Building your blocks step-by-step
✨ Keeping everything lined up and square
✨ Bringing it all together into a finished quilt top

The beauty of this quilt is in its variety—no two blocks are exactly the same, but together they create something cohesive, warm, and full of character.

🪡 What to Bring:
Just your sewing machine, thread, and basic sewing supplies - all material for top provided!

💲 Cost:
$75 total for all three class days
May 16th, 23rd, 30th - 9am - 2pm!

Sign up here- https://the-wisteria-mercantile.square.site

This is one of those projects you’ll be proud of every time you pull it out… or gift it to someone you love.

Come sit, sew, and create something meaningful with us.
