I got to play with this machine back in September. OMG!! There were only 6 in the country at that time for demos. It is so easy to move it's like melted butter.
I was at my Bernina dealer for an event. The head of Bernina was there. He & I were trying to get it working. The lady who was to demo it was late. What fun we had playing with the machine
. Anyway I had the opportunity to test a Gammill years ago & it was very heavy & hard to move on the rails. With the Bernina Q24 I wrote my name & the machine moved so easy it was like running a hot knife thru butter. Price point is around 14K, depending on your dealer. The sit down model is a little cheaper. I'm waiting for that one to come out, as I don't have room for the rail.
No idea about pantograph or laser.
The machine has BSR, on screen adjustment ability for tension, bobbin winder on the machine, etc. It's loaded. If you go to Bernina USA website they have a video of this machine.
