And I can also mirror image the blanket stitch easily. Also my Bernina has a knee lifter, meaning with just a press of my knee on the lever, I can raise or lower my pressor foot leaving both hands free to guide the fabric. There are I believe some models of Bernina that cost less then mine but are still over $1000. You would probably want one that has the knobs that adjust the width and length as that features gives the most adjustability to those stitches. Good Luck. Oh, I also was able to do a fairly decent blanket stitch with my Viking D1 not made any more. But I just bought a Viking Topaz 40 which has many of the features of the D1 and that was less than $2000
