Call the "Peace and Applique" shop in Rochester, IL and see when the repairman will be in. He is the owner's husband. They are from Bloomington and commute every day, very nice and helpful. I have not heard any good things about that particular model. Yes, it is "Peace and Applique". They sell and repair Bernina. You would love their shop with thousands of bolts of great quality fabrics. One of my favorite shops ever. He will give valid information.
