What model, please?
as I haven't found it

I don't know. The newsletter is called "The Quilt Show" and I always delete it when I've seen what I want to see. However, if I find the info., I will either PM you or I will add to this thread ... depending on if and when I come up with the info.

LOL, indeed! In fact, I would be almost as thrilled to see a member of this QB win it as I would be if I​ won it (almost!).

I heard from a reliable source that Bernina is coming out with a long arm machine next year. Has anyone else heard anything or have some inside information?

There are several sit-down longarm machines. They all look like the HandiQuilter Sweet 16. I know the Babylock Tiara is manufactured by HandiQuilter. The Bernina and Husqvarna Viking look like the Sweet 16; could be the same machine with a new name.

Yes Sharon100 .. Tiara is the HQS16, just rebranded.
Would you please give me a link to the Bernina?
Thanks!!!

I have yet to find a HQS16 styled Bernina.
Nor has my dealer, as I keep asking them ...

Thus why I am trying to track down info,
as quite often the USA has more info sooner, than we here north of the 49!

Right now my SIL and I have a 750 and 780 respectively, and use them on a Bernina frame with Creative Touch Pad for Quiltmotion. We are seriously thinking of upgrading.

Hope you have a gazillion dollars. They are way out of my price range now. Thank heavens I bought my sewing maching and serger when I did.

I just got this week's issue of "The Quilt Show" and there is a contest winner ... HOWEVER, the prize is a Gammill Charm (sit-down), so it seems my faulty memory made an error and, rather than a Bernina sit-down long-arm prize, the contest I entered had the Gammill as prize. It's just one of those things that has fallen out of my brain and gotten lost; my apologies.

Weezie .... our brains are just overstuffed with so many quilting ideas, that some things just have to fall out!!! Some have been fretting at the price of a Bernina sit down, though I would think the Charm would have a charming price tag ........... and we might need a Charming Sugar Daddy to acquire! :)
