I got two Bernette 46's for using 2 different cards. I tried them both out and they sewed great! They are plastic though and will probably scratch up and not look so pretty eventually. I am saving them for my grandchildren that will hopefully come along some day. They will be perfect for kids. I don't think they would be nice for taking to classes though, they just don't seem as well made as the Berninas. I agree with finding another Bernina that would share feet!
