For $150, you can almost buy a nice little Brother machine with a walking foot, darning foot, lots of accessory feet, 60 stitches and hard plastic carrying case! You need a secondary machine, anyway, right? ;)
I agree. I own a Bernina and that is only the beginning of the cost to start/finish a project. I also spent $100 on 2 books about the additional feet and exactly what they do (which I might add was good information). If I had it to do over again, I would not purchase such an expensive machine. Sooooooo, I deal with it as it is and know that I won't buy any additional items for it. It also annoyed me as to the so called "instructional class" they gave FREE. Opps, got off track here. Sorry.
