I agree 100%. For $2000 you can buy a slightly used Bernina that will sew beautiful seams, quilt with beautiflful stitches and embroidery with beautiful stitches. If you have not bought a machine yet, I have a slightly used Bernina Artistic 180 with all the reference manuals you will need. It will be your dream machine the rest of your life. I will sell it for $1,800, which will leave enough money to buy additional pressure feet designed for anything you wish to sew.
