I am still searching for a Necchi Supernova.
I've never used one, but just imagine it to be as pleasant as the 260.
Most of the Necchis I've seen have (of course) been owned by Italians who I've noticed treat their machines mean. Make sure you get a good one. If it's seized up or really dirty (Frudemoo had one she described as dirty as a BBQ and never got it running well) be very wary, as in don't touch it with a barge pole.
JudyTheSewer, Frudemoo described her Bernina 740 as "just really pleasant to sew with". It's hard to be more specific but smooth, quiet and strong is shared between all my breath takers. The Supernova also had the automatic embroidery cams that did a fully filled pattern, which I was blown away with too.
Liking Quilting, this is why we all have so many machines. You hear about something great, see one, next you know you have ten of them in your lounge room table
