I would love a new machine, one that does embroidery but when I see the price of them I think maybe I don't want a new one! LOL... They would intimidate me. I have asked a couple of local quilt shops if they work on Berninas...I would like to have my sisters checked out and maybe learn to use it too instead of just my old trusty Singer. I sure would love an embroidery machine though... $$ = need though??
