Thanks for the ideas. I just got back from my local dealer who sells Bernina, Viking and Pfaff. I was hoping to see the eversewn sparrow 30 since it has all the features I want and is in my price range. However, the lady was adamant that I won’t like it and they don’t carry it because though made by the company that makes bernina it is nothing like it. She wants me to get the Pfaff passport 2.0 (in my price range but no thread cutter) or 3.0 (out of my desired price range but has a thread cutter).
Any ideas?
