I had to trade my old, mechanical Bernina (1030) for a new Bernina (230) because I wanted the blanket-stitch for applique.
Now, I want a newer Bernina so I can have the jumbo bobbin, and the wider stitch plate hole for bigger alphabets and decorative stitches, and a touch screen. Some of those stitches are so cute! I want a 5 Series, Next Generation for the bigger throat space, and led lights under the ceiling of the throat space. And it even has a bigger motor! And I'd love to get into machine embroidery!
Alas... my budget does't agree.
