I do have a backup, it's a computerized Kenmore. My Bernina is only 2 yrs old, it's the 640E model. I use it for everything, 95% of the time. It has the extension tray too. My Kenmore does not is why I don't do more quilting on it.
I keep asking my son to make me one but it doesn't look like that is happening anytime soon and I can't find one already made to fit it. :(
I have a mechanial Kenmore too but I think the belt broke, need to get that one fixed. That one is a workhorse but again, hard to quilt on because of the short bed on it.
I'm still looking so if anyone can suggest a good machine to just quilt on, I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks a bunch!
