Well, not mine. I'm sure it wants to be, though!

If it were mine, I'd become horribly allergic to sunlight, develop bug eyes, become irritable and even vicious, lose most of my hair, eat lots of fish and an occasional small orc, and speak in gutteral whispers and muffled screams.

It's a bit overpriced for a 27 (I'd imagine by 100% or so).
If it were a VS2 (fiddle base version) it might be closer to the mark. The decals sure are lovely.

It also seems to be missing its coffin lid.

!! LOL!! This made me literally laugh out loud!!

Have any of us NOT stroked a particularly lovely machine and muttered about Precious at least once?? That IS normal, right?

IT's a beautiful machine! Like someone said, though, it's a bit over priced!

I hadn't seen decals like that until two weeks ago, when my old sewing machine guy had one in his shop. The design looks more like inlay to me. My OSMG said they are called Queen Victoria decals.

Both of these perfectly describe my reaction to the Bernina I recently bought and then my fabric excursion to the Missouri Star Quilt Company shop. Kept petting all the purple fabric along with some of the butterfly and cat fabrics. They were understanding as apparently, thank goodness, I am not the 1st customer to do this.

So, perfectly normal behavior to my way of thinking.
