Wow, thank you all for all these great comments… I felt like I was getting the hard-sell from the dealer. They also service all the machines. (Pfaff, janome, Bernina, husqvarna)
He thinks the Bernina bobbin system is not good so steered me away from those... but I sewed on a friends bernina years ago and loved it. All the machines have changed so much since I started sewing, I’m a little bit in the weeds!
