What Bernina models are you considering TOL? I agree that the SVP merger does not bode well for consumers. Thanks

In regards to the SVP merger. That happened back in the beginning of 2010 and that's when Singer, Viking & Pfaff became 1 company. As far as I'm concerned, that's no different than K-Mart buying Sears and each keeping their brand names.
I completely disagree with your statement about the merging of the 3 companies. I think it's very important and is not a benefit to the Pfaff or Viking name at all... And the TOL Berninas are not made in Asia.
