My question: Would you invest the money to have this machine looked at, cleaned, etc., and use it? I have a great little Brother LB6770 embroidery machine that's been great but I can tell the Berninia is much more solid. Let me know your thoughts, I need to purchase a walking foot, 1/4"foot, bobbins, etc.

I have this machine and I love it. Yes you should get it cleaned and tuned. my dealer told me that this machine was made for only a short time. It was meant to be the Bernina workhorse but the materials for this machine cost to much to be able to be sold for a reasonable price. He told me it has 32 different materials in it. I love mine. It cost me $79 to get it serviced. Worth every penny!!! P.S. I had to buy mine.

Thanks!
