I bought my first Bernina because my Viking was worn out. At the time the Viking just came out with computer machines, I test drove one for a week (the dealer figured for sure I would buy it, so let me try it for a week) I hated that machine, so drove another 45 miles to where a Bernina dealer had a shop. I explained what I had just done with the Viking and asked if I could test drive the Bernina for a week. I really got a strange look, but he said if I left a deposit check for 1/2 the cost, he would allow that. (he would keep the check and return it if I didn't like the machine) I took a 930 home and in a week took him another check for the balance. He was happy and I was happy. I still have that machine, but did upgrade to a 150 some years ago. I have a small featherweight to take to classes and a Bernina sport model when zig zag etc is needed in the class. Its light and just a basic machine, have no idea if they still make these.
