I have all Bernina's in my sewing room... a 550, a 1530, a serger and an embroidery machine. Embroidery is a function I did not want on my sewing machine, so it remains a separate machine from my sewing machine. Do watch for one that sews sideways, as my older ones do not if you want to quilt as you sew.
Choose a dealer that is close by, so you don't have to go far for service or lessons on the machine. Hope this helps.
