This was certainly food for thought. I have several machines and love them all. However, when I purchased the last one, a BERNINA B530 I kept my 30 year old BERNINA 1130 (did not trade it in) because I had all the attachments for it that I had purchased over the years and I was not about to buy new ones for the new machine because of the cost and the fact that I used them only occasionally like the ruffler, etc. So, If I had to trim down 'my stuff' to move to smaller quarters I know my newer machine would be the first to go. I also have other machines that I would hate to part with It is the fabric stash that would be a problem!
