If you had $1000, which machine would you purchase?
I currently have an OLD Bernina....love it! But it is slowly trying to retire itself.....lots of little things do not work like they used to, and the only dealer nearby tells me it is too old to get parts, not worth fixing (its a 930). I have saved my pennies (haha) for a long time, and would like to purchase a new machine. I don't have a need for embroidery capacity, and I don't do machine quilting other than straight lines-may want to play with machine quilting at some point, but I prefer the piecing aspect of quilting. I do a lot of home dec sewing, and with 2 new grand daughters, I will have lots of other projects to sew! :-) What are your experiences with machines under $1000? Thanks!
