Every Bernina dealer I have been to sells the Bernina Bernette models too. They are good machines but the low end of the models are very basic with no frills.
Check out the Eversewn 30. I have one and love it. Most of my guild members have one too. It has every feature you want in a domestic machine. Even an auto thread cutter which is a must if you paper piece and it saves so much thread. It's about $400 and comes with an extension table and extra feet. You won't have a lot of money invested for a great machine. It is designed by a Bernina engineer and sold exclusively through Brewster to machine dealers.
