Thank you
Hey everyone,
I want to say thank you for welcoming me to your board and for the frank comments made in my thread about machine shopping. I have taken everyone's comments to heart.
Right now, I am a little annoyed and have gotten over being starstruck by Bernina. I was manipulated by a dealer who was selling a floor model for an amazing price and I fell hard. However, my brain stepped in and stopped me. What really drove me crazy was how condescending this dealer was about my Pfaff. Ok, I don't like it, but MSRP was $1800. It's not a total piece of garbage.
While Bernina's are amazing high quality machines, they also weigh alot and I couldn't imagine taking one to a class.
I am not generally a frugal girl. In fact, I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for (generally), but I just can't pull the trigger on the Bernina. In fact, I am not sure I can pull the trigger on the Babylock either.
I like the Janome 8900, but I have heard and read (including in my thread) that sometimes this machine has a hard time getting through some thicker fabrics.
As you can see, I continue to contemplate this subject. I just don't want another mistake.
Thanks again,
Lynda
