I bought two Bernette Seville 4 this Christmas for granddaughters. On sale at local quilt shop. $150 each but I didn't want them to have cheap machines that would cause grief and discourage their sewing. Plus their moms can use also. Win win. I LOVE my 30 year old Bernina. The Bernette is not Swiss made but it is made for Bernina so I feel it is better than lots of others out there...
