I have an older Bernina. A 1260. I have sewn on the new models and they can't come close to sewing like the older ones. They have new features and do amazing stitch work but can't compete with the perfect feed of my old one. No problem going over humps, even jeans seams. I don't understand why if something works and does what it's suppose to do and does it well why can't it be left unimproved.
