Can anyone tell me anything about this machine and if it's a good machine? Thank you very much, Jeanne.

It looks very much like my Bernina 1230, which I *love*. My only concern about the machine would be the age of the electronics on it. If the motherboard were to go out on my machine, for example, it would probably not be worthwhile to try to repair it. My machine cost in the neighborhood of $1500 new about 15 years ago.
