1.) What machine you have--I have a Bernina 1530, It is about 15 yrs old and I love it!

2.) What you love about it--It is a very sturty machine. It slide off the table at a class awhile back and nothing was broken or settings changed. It feels good sewing with it. It was bought mainly for clothe making as I was not really quilting aqt the time. I just recently bought a Brothers to take to classes because it is much lighter in weight and in using it it does not have the positive feelings of the Bernina. I switched back to the Bernina and will use the Brothers for class only.

3.) What you don't love about it--It does what you want it to do.

4.) How much you paid for it (I know this may be a rude question, but I just really need to know what a "good deal"is on these machines... I walk into a dealer and feel like I'm a sitting duck!!!)--15 yrs ago I bought it on sale for around $2500. Recently bought a walking foot for it at $150.
