That's just my point. The country of origin doesn't matter; the behavior of the manufacturer, in this case Bernina, does. I've read all sorts of claims about where Bernettes are manufactured, and people usually object to a country based solely on the nation in question, when it's really the behavior of the manucturer that matters. A manufacturer in the US could be crap if they don't care about their product, and a product in China could be the best thing since sliced bread if the manufacturer cares to do a good job.

Even on Bernina lists there are debates regarding the machines that are made in Thailand now. Apparently the Activas and some of the Auroras are no longer Swiss-made, and there are regular discussions regarding the Thai factories and how tightly Bernina controls them.
