I had the same used Bernina for over 20 years before I started quilting - although I went through long periods of no sewing at all. Once the quilting bug hit, however, I decided I "needed" something new. I love my new computerized machine and all of its tricks. I found a great Horn cabinet on Craigslist, got the new machine set in there just right and have taken over a bedroom for my sewing space. This setup is perfect for now, but I can see myself taking over a larger family room in the future and who knows what I'll end up with when I have all that space. I'll be retiring in a few years, so feel like I should spend it while I've got it - but am cautious due to my fickle nature when it comes to hobbies. I'll never sell that Bernina though.
