What shall I do re:broken Bernina 1260? Is it a good model?
I have a Bernina Nova 900 and a Bernina 1020 - I love them both but it is mostly for sentimental reasons with the nova.
I needed accessories for my 1020 and an auction had a full set of feet, a walking foot, knee control and an extension table (as well as some other accessories, so I was happy to pay the offer of $300 NZ for the lot. The seller said that the machine only works sometimes and she had been told it needs a new board. I checked with my dealer and he said it could cost $600 NZ!
I was interested in hearing from people who know the 1260 model whether it is worth having, given that my other 2 machines are mechanical. Is it a really good machine? I have just started to learn quilting, but don't know how much of an improvement this model would be upon my other ones. I also don't know what the value is of a refurbished 1260 if I were buying one - they don't seem to come up for sale often.
Trying to weigh up the pros and cons.
thanks!
