I have my Bernina 1230 that I have had for about 20 years and will keep it until it decides to quit sewing (which I hope is never!)...I have my featherweight...which I got from my aunt.,..it was my grandmother's machine...I have my Brother PQ1500S for machine quilting....has the wider arm and sews fast! I also have a Bernina 180 with embroidery unit....which I bought at a great price, but never have really used it a lot...I love my 1230 so much. It does have some fun stitches that I do get it out sometimes to use them, but haven't really used the embroidery unit as I thought I might...sometimes think of selling it, and then I end up keeping it...just in case.
That is a list of my different machines and why I have them all....the only other machine that I may buy "someday" would be a smaller, lighter weight machine to take to classes. I do haul my 1230...have a case on wheels so it isn't too bad, but something lighter weight would be easier.
