You can't go wrong with a Bernina. My sister-in-law has the 830 and shes still sewing great.
I would have it professionally cleaned. Even if you have to by a cord the machine was free. Enjoy your new machine. :thumbup:

Definitely worth it! I just bought a Bernina 930 from the nicest quilter, on this board, and drove a few hours in bad weather for it. It's a treasure! The craftsmanship is beyond anything you're see today. I have several other machines, but wanted THIS ONE. They sell for $500-1000. Try eBay, craigslist, dealers, and sewitsforsale-a yahoo forum-for the cord. Just saw a 930 case there for $150.

I bought my 930 in 81, for yrs I didn't even have it serviced and am lucky if I remember to have it serviced now knowing better. I haven't had a bit of trouble with it, have sewn things that only commercial machines are suppose to sew. I don't even remember to clean and oil as I should. This machine will never leave you walking. WORTH IT. Machines will come and go but that one will be a keeper. I have thought I would love a new machine, but can't see paying all those big bucks for a new machine when this one is so good. It does everything and all Bernina feet can be ordered if you want a special foot. Everytime I take it out somewhere someone is trying to buy it from me including the man that services it.

My honey found an old Bernina 850, the predecessor of the 950. I found a place in Killeen, TX and UPSed it. It was frozen up. Spent about $180 to clean up and it works like a dream. One part was missing and he ordered it from overseas. The tech at this place in Killeen has 35 years of working on Bernina's. I go with the other quilters,,,,Keep it!
