I've got a Bernina Activa 220, and I like it alright. I like the 1/4" foot the best; however, I'm bringing it in tomorrow for an adjustment-not happy with stitches. My favorite machine is an old White machine, it just works and works, great stitches- just not many perks. I can't afford a 'dream machine'....but a Featherweight might be doable.
