Good luck with your Bernina. I just bought an Sparrow 30 and have been pretty happy with it (my understanding is the Eversewns are designed by a Bernina designer). I also just bought a Simply Red Bernina 215, because Bernina is the only company with a flat felled seam foot, which does a great machine binding. I like the look and finish better than the binding set I bought for my Janome.
