I brought home my 'new to me' Bernina Artista today!!!! I can't wait to learn how to use it. However, I am extremely intimidated as I piece on a featherweight and don't know how to use bells and whistles! I am told this is an excellent machine. The owner of the sewing shop allowed me to layaway as long as I made a payment every once in a while, sometimes as long as 6-8 weeks.
