A quilter's edition with no walking foot but a buttonhole foot? That is just weird. I also wish Bernina would make a solid basic machine that will sew heavy duty projects without all the bells and whistles. When I bought my 475, they tried to sell me the machine with an embroidery unit. I told them that I bought the embroidery unit for my Artista 180. It hasn't been out of the bag for better than 15 years. I just don't do embroidery. But I do bags and heavy stuff that I need a machine for.
