I have a Bernina Artista 185 and purchased by bobbins on e-bay. I bought a few from my LQS for that astronomical price before I thought to check e-bay. What a difference in price, and the ones on e-bay are just as good (I couldn't tell the difference). Just make sure you get the right size for your machine, as I believe Bernina's come in 2 different size bobbins. Maybe write to the seller and tell them what your machine is and make sure they will fit your Bernina. No need to pay top dollar. Shop e-bay.
