I was told the newer lines were being made in Thailand. ?

As far as I can tell, the Berninas series 600 and higher are still made in Switzerland:

Even u.S. or Swiss or German made items have parts from the Asian countries. It's just how it is now. We buy the foreign products and they buy other US made products by the boatload. I know others who have the machine you bought and they love it. Happy sewing.

Enjoy your new machine, I guess as long as it is a good machine it does not really matter.
|
I have the last Pfaff model that was made in Germany, which is the 7570. Pfaff has been bought out by Viking.
|
IF company had to list, where ALL their parts came from, and where it was assembled, they would have to add a booklet because it comes from MANY countries.
|
it seems these days we must go to other Countries to buy anything Made in The USA. shame.

If it performs as it should then just enjoy it. I've wanted a high end machine forever, but ended up buying a Singer for about one fifth of the cost of the one I drooled over. That was five years ago and my Singer does everything I ask of it, it is easy to maintain, has never failed me and I love it. Sounds like I'm putting Singer down, but we all know that the Singer of the past is not the Singer of today. I learned to sew on a Singer treadle and so far I'm very pleased. So enjoy your new machine and make wonderous quilts and be happy.
