I have been offered a bernina1630 inspiration plus for $400.00.au
it is missing the extention table and only has an embroidery foot and a plain stitching foot and needs a knee lifter (I maybe able to use the one from my Janome. it looks to be in very good condition. is this a good machine to buy, I do want an embroidery machine and can't afford a new one. |
The 1630 is not capable of doing machine embroidery.
|
looking at the book that comes with it it does have patterns and pictures it will sew but they are quite small, it also does monograming, what I need to know is would it be a good machine to start with and something I could trade up with later.
|
Those are decorative stitches... not machine embroidery. Which are you looking for?
|
I would like an embroidery machine but would the decorative stitches be ok for quilting. I think it would be great for making labels. just need some thoughts run past me to help make a decision, I think the price is ok for what it is. but will it be an advantage to have it.
|
Compare the cost to the features and how much will you actually use the machine. You aren't convinced about it, I can tell. Buy the machine you really want and that does what you want it to with all the parts and pieces there.
|
It would work well for labels and some decorative work in quilting.
But if you are really wanting to embroider, I would save the money and keep looking for an embroidery machine. |
I would save the 400. toward what you really want.
