Thank you for the information. I am looking for a Bernina Tech in the Dallas area. So far my Google search hasn't turned up anything. I sure hate to purchase another Bernina because of repair issues but hate to not be able to use all the feet I have accumulated over the years. Our local quilt shop has quit carrying Bernina because they could not be repaired locally and are now selling Janome. It's a bummer for me because I have enjoyed it so much.
