I have a Bernina and after sewing on it, would never have anything else. It has the BSR foot and my quilting stitches are always even, no skipped stitches. I can wind a bobbin while Im sewing, auto needle threader, knee lift for the presser foot, if I want to use it, and so many other goodies. Having the BSR foot was a real plus for me, I had never FMQ'ed before and it made it so easy for me to learn.
