I found that Bernina was over priced and they do not offer computer support for their very expensive embroidery machines after a certain time and you are left with a $6,000 machine that cannot be used with the computer. Also, I found that they are made with plastic that breaks without even looking at it. The shop that I purchased the machine at refused to let me come back for any classes to refresh my memory on how to use the machine and the repair tech was extremely rude every time I needed repairs. The Viking store here fixed the Bernina better than the Bernina store. Would never buy a Bernina again!!!
