Ellure Appraisal

Baby Lock Ellure Sewing and Embroidery Machine

This is a high-quality computerized sewing and embroidery machine manufactured by Baby Lock, specifically the 'Ellure' model (likely model BLR or BLR2). The machine features a primary white hard-plastic exterior with elegant gold-toned accents, including a stylized cursive 'e' logo on the left and an oval 'Ellure' emblem on the lower right pillar. It is a large-format domestic machine with a flat-bed design and a removable accessory tray that reveals a free arm for cylindrical sewing. Key features include a wide monochrome LCD screen for stitch selection and editing, a speed control slider, a needle up/down button, a start/stop button, and an automatic thread cutter. The top of the machine houses a retractable thread guide and a bobbin winder. The machine's construction exhibits the high level of craftsmanship associated with the Baby Lock/Brother manufacturing partnership, featuring a drop-in top bobbin system and metal internal components for durability. Based on its design and technology, this model dates to the mid-to-late 2000s. The visible condition is fair to good, showing minor surface scuffs and dust accumulation consistent with regular domestic use but no significant physical cracks or missing structural panels. This machine is regarded as a versatile 'workhorse' for hobbyists, capable of both intricate decorative embroidery and heavy-duty utility stitching.
