I own a Bernina and absolutely love it. It's over 15 years old now and is so easy to use. No problems.
I use mine all the time for whatever works. Last night, my
Granddaughter, Daughter and I did the thrift store adventure. We had a great time. I found a box of fat quarters - 20 in all - for $5. Beautiful fabric and will use it to make happy quilts. Coming from the thrift store, the first thing I did was serge the edges and throw it all in the wash. Had fun with it.
