My honey found an old Bernina 850, the predecessor of the 950. I found a place in Killeen, TX and UPSed it. It was frozen up. Spent about $180 to clean up and it works like a dream. One part was missing and he ordered it from overseas. The tech at this place in Killeen has 35 years of working on Bernina's. I go with the other quilters,,,,Keep it!
