Though I have a different machine, an old Bernina 830 which I love, I must say you are right. I had a walmart kiddie machine when I was about 10, and I used it a lot until I broke it. Let me just say, I've used 3 different Berninas, the new really expensive one that my aunt got (the thing is huge! and heavy!) and her new Bernina 830, then of course the old Bernina 830 she gave my mom for Christmas when she got her new one. Now I need to start saving some money so I can get one of my own.
But if I had to pick a
gadget, I would have to say my thread cutters. Cuz regular scissors in my house are not sharp at all!
