Wow, beautiful looking quilt and it does look different again done this way.
Sorry about your machine, that must be the first Bernina I have heard any bad news about, and obviously when they go bad they go all the way to the top. So sorry you got that one, I would have swore too. Hopefully the company will make amends to you, you certainly deserve it, thats not a cheap machine is it. I have had loads of trouble with my Brother, fingers crossed it seems okay now.
