I agree with you. I think we should get the very best we can afford. I wanted a Bernina for years and when the time was right bought one and have been so happy with it for about 18 years now. I just bought a Juki for machine quilting as my Bernina didn't have a large enough harp. They are both wonderful machines.
Before my Bernina I had a low end Kenmore that I used for over 20 years. My Dad bought it for me when I first got married and I loved it but sewing on a Bernina after that one was a dream come true
