that is just what I was thinking, no chevy for me now. plus my BIL is a repair man and he said to get the bernina if at all possable, so that is what I got
|
I bought a Bernina 440QE in August and I love it! It sews beautiful and I love the way the feet attach...very easy! I tried the New Horizon, but I just didn't like it as much and I felt like I would have more support from the shop with the Bernina and I haven't been disappointed in that either.
Good luck to you! It's such a big decision when you are spending that kind of money! |
I had a Bernina a few years ago - at the time it was top of the line and it was a piece of s........ i couldn't even make buttonholes on a wool jacket!!! It would not sew through 2 thickness of wool plus interfacing - some machine!!
darlene P.S. I have heard from an expert in all the machine, Viking, Phaff, Bernina, etc. that Babylock is your best bet. |

I have always sold and used Bernina's. It is still made in Switzerland and is far superior to other machines in what it does. Now that being said, it just depends on what you want to do. I sold more machines when I taught at Stretch and Sew making tiny button holes in tricot gowns, etc. The other women could not do that and just hated it. The stitch quality is supurb. I think the embroidery is excellent, but understand the Brother and maybe Janome do a very good job on embroidery also. It really depends on how much money you have for your toys. I did not buy the newest one as I really think my 200 is supurb and I refuse to spend $12,000 on a sewing machine. More than my long arm machine. Happy hunting.

I started this post and it is interesting to see the passion we all have for our sewing machines. I think price will be my deciding factor. I don't think I can afford a Bernina and I can buy another Janome locally.
Thanks for all your import but I think I have made my decision |
