Is this the only Bernina dealership in your area? I agree with a previous post, if you belong to a quilt group of a guild, let it be known that you have a Janome for sale. I have always found that DSM dealers are much like used car dealers. You NEVER get what the item is really worth on a trade in. Good luck. You should love your Bernina. I have two Berninas I bought in the 90s and love them both!!
