.You are a very wise woman. In fact with Alzheimer's in my background maybe i should get a new machine every year...LOL!
...... I just looked at my newest machine as a means to keep my brain active and didn't expect to learn it all at once. I learned the bare bones basics and then explored the new features gradually as the classes came up or as I needed to learn the technique. I loved the stitch quality and found lots of support via other Bernina owners, Bernina dealership staff and classes, Bernina websites.......
