Default Shop Closing

According to a friend of mine that just bought a new 820 Bernina at the Paducah show..she said Bernina pays the shop..any shop that carries Bernina machines for the classes you take on learning your machine. Guess now you need to see how close the next Bernina dealer is from you. Viking are great machines. I have the mega quilter but I don't think they are as great of a machine as Bernina. Sorry all you Viking owners!! LOL I don't even own a Bernina either. I thought about buying one..but decided that my vintage machines would last a lot longer....wouldn't have to take classes to learn how to operate them..nor would I have to take them to the shop to be cleaned once a year. I could save that money and spend it on something else..fabric!!! and clean my own machine. Just my .02 for what it's worth
