Very helpful! Thank you all for your comments. I have the Bernina 640E and I love it. My first Bernina after years of sewing. The 640E has a 9 mm zig zag stitch but if I use the single hole throat plate I think the guide on the 57 would work better, right? I have not trekked upstairs to my sewing room to inspect, but I am thinking/hoping that would be true.
Thanks again. And yes after breaking the bank on buying my machine, generics are just WRONG.
