I can help you out. First a Bernina machine is never old and worn out. 1985 it probably is a 1130 or something close. Don't ever let go of it. There are 3 places in Houston that are called It's A Stitch. They are Bernina dealers, where I bought both my Bernina's. There is one on Westheimer in west Houston, one on 1960 in NW Houston and one on 1960 also in NW Houston but on the other end of 1960. Let me know what area you want to go to and I give you a couple of other names.
