I have a Bernina 1130 and love it! I have never had a repair on it and I have been seeing them sell on eBay for $800-$900. I just smile because I would never trade in my 1130. I own numerous vintage straight stitch electric and treadle machines as well that are wonderful machines. I do dream though of having one of the new Bernina 7 or 8 series machines. But wow, the cost! I will never buy anything else but Bernina.
