I am going to add my two cents worth in here too. I had a no name if it had a name don't remember sewing machine. I got my Bernina and while I love my Bernina work horse, wish I had kept the no name. It had a lot of fancy stitches that I used, that my Bernina doesn't have. So I really really regret getting rid of my old one and you may find you will too.
