I have an OLD Bernina machine that dates back to the 1970's. It belonged to my mother when she had a fabric store. She gave it away & that person gave it to me because it was in horrible shape. I spent almost $200.00 to get it "up to snuff". It is WONDERFUL!!!
I have 2 other machines, Necchis, which are very good BUT quilting is always done on the Bernina.
