I love my Bernina 1630! She is a smooth stitcher and does everything I ask her to with good results. I have many feet and love her capabilities. I bought her used about 17 years ago and she is still going strong. I bought another used one for my daughter when she graduated from university and hers continues to sew beautifully also.
I was told that parts are now scarce and it would be difficult to fix - if my machine becomes unfixable I will be very sad and will try to find another just like her.
