Just wanted to let you know that in the end, I decided not to purchase the Bernina 931. I really didn't want to spend the money on an older machine that didn't have the two specific things I would like to have on a machine. It was purchased by another lady for $400, and the money goes to a good cause -- the Lions Club. I have no regrets! Maybe there will be a machine with my "requirements" sometime in my future??!!
