This is just what I think....I have a Bernina 830...it's old, about 35 - 40 years but it is a work horse. It isn't electronic, I wouldn't like that stuff but I do love my old Bernina. I've never had a bit of trouble with it and it just keeps going and going and going. I've had Kenmore and I have a FW but the Bernina is my go to machine....P.S. I wouldn't spend 3000 bucks aon a machine either!

It costs enough for fabric and the things that go along with sewing....Ive been to our quilt shop here and the shop sells only Bernina Ive tested them and sat there and sewed on them...and yes they have a lot of nice features...but there is no way Iam going to spend $2,000.00 or $3,000.00 on a sewing machine just like Huquavana I recently found out that Singer is just a cheaper modle then Husquavana that they have merged and Singer is HUSQUAVANA so who cares what the sewing machine brand is...if it sews and does what you want and like then so be it....just my two cents...Trish
