I'm the original owner of my machine (Bernina) so it's never been an issue that's come up.
I own a Bernina Activa 240 and its warrantee says that it is not transferable. I don't know whether that applies to all Bernina machines or if it just applies to that particular machine.

I knew about the Janome warrantee because I passed my Janome MC6500P along to someone else and found out at that time. Janome also used to say that their warrantee was only good if the machine was not purchased over the Internet. I don't know if that is still true or not, as I heard that around 6-years ago.
The word I got from Janome when I called (yesterday) was that the warranties are only valid when purchased from an authorized dealer and don't transfer to a second owner :?
