Can someone help me with advice on what model to get? I am quite proficient and am computer savy for the most part.
I am speaking with a lady who is selling a Bernina 180E with all the attachments, cabinet, laptop (not sure I need this) and many spools of thread. She is asking $3500 for all but is open to negotiations. I want to be fair but am not sure of the value of this deal.
Thanks for any advice or direction!!

Hello from Indiana. I don't own a Bernina but I know a lady that does. Not sure what model she has though. She uses her embroidery designs as quilting designs also. She just uses the outline part of it instead of doing all the filling in. Hope that makes sense.

Welcome to the group. You will love it here. Lots to learn and see. If I was to buy a new machine I would buy a Jamone Horizon. I have the Memory Craft 6000 love that machine it works so good. I bought mine 2nd hand 13 year ago and didn't know that it is like 30 years old now. I have sewed lots of quilts with it.
