I bought a Bernina Activa 140 yesterday on EBay. Got it for $394 so am excited that I got it for a good price. I bought it for my aughter to use and I will use it for taking along to classes, retreats, etc. I used to have a Bernina Activa 230 and I have heard that the 140 is very similar to the 200 Series so I am super excited to get this machine. Maybe it will peak my daughter's interest now to start to do some quilting since she has a computerized machine that is "hers". And it doesn't matter if she doesn't use it because I plan to use it to take to classes and retreats. (I'm sure I'll use it more than her!--but maybe someday that will change.)
