OH, I love that machine. I have yet to purchase a Bernina. The one I see are usually always a few hundred dollars above my budget. I am definitely a hoarder/collector as I now have approx. 50+ machines. I keep thinking I am going to find some good homes for some of them but when I look them over I can't seem to part with any of them. I just purchased a General (15 clone) and a two tone tan Modern Deluxe Brand. I will show pictures when I get them cleaned up. Couldn't pass up the Modern Deluxe for $5. Plugged it in and you can barely hear it run, sweet!!!
