    Guess what? I just looked at my black 301 and it's also a limited edition I guess because it falls in the same serial # category. Interesting. I'll have to check my others. Funny, but I don't see...

    I have $20-$50 vintage machines that I love along with a super expensive, newer Bernina 830. Why do you have to spend hundreds/thousands if you don't have it? But a used machine or better yet, a...

    Cracked nylon camstacks can be an issue and also the stitch selector knob sometimes needs work . Both of these things are not what I would call easy to fix.

    We're very dry here in good old CA and that may be part of the issue. Maybe the decals dried too quickly? I haven't done enough of them to notice a pattern.

    There's no need to replace the capacitor in the vintage Bernina foot controls. The thermo regulator part takes care of any problem.

    Bernina did not recommend just removing them from the foot controls. Idon't know where this is coming from? They came out with a retrofit part for the foot controls once the capacitor was removed. ...

    The 15 is also known for better tension control because it has a vertical bobbin assembly vs. the drop in of the 201.

    I tried a similar darning foot as the one pictured above on my White Rotary and didn't like the results. I re-homed the machine as free motion quilting is a necessity for me.
