One thing to remember. Try a 1/4" seam on both machines to make sure they are the same. I bought a little Kenmore to take to class and did a lot of piecing using its 1/4" foot. Then I went home and started finishing the piecing on my trusty old Bernina 140. The pieces didn't match at all when I compared a row from each machine. I ended up ripping out everything I had done on the Kenmore and redoing it on the Bernina. I ended up giving the machine to my niece and buying another small Bernina for class. They match perfectly.
