I suddenly took an interest in machine quilting recently. Haven't even finished my first quilt. Then last weekend my sewing machine broke. My wonderful husband insists I have a Bernina (although a used Bernina) this time. Does anyone have a recommendation as to what model. I am very confused. I had a Finesse (off shoot company of Singer) It basically sewed straight, zig zag and buttonholes. So anything would be a step up. The Bernina name impresses me. I have the opportunity to get a 1630 for approximately $300. We know the technician that works on them and he says it is in top condition. I am not a professional sewer/quilter by any means but will this be an adequate machine for a beginning quilter?
