Bernina seems to be going down in quality. Several of my guild members have the newer Berninas and all have complained they are not like the older ones, said the new ones are too fussy and will mess up in a second. One member bought the newest $25K one. She already regrets it. It's been in the shop longer then she has gotten to sew on it. She is sewing on her Juki waiting for the machine once again to get out of the shop. She knows she has lost money if she tries to sell it. Hoping that the repairs will solve the problems.
I use Juki 2010 TL for piecing and quilting. I use old Bernina for decorative stitches and Brother for embroidery if I ever do that again.
