I'm sorry I didn't get to yesterday's post. You will never be disappointed with your decision. I have a Pfaff, bought a Bernina. I like my Pfaff, but I love my Bernina. My Pfaff is my workhorse for tough sewing projects. My Bernina is my Queen who is treated with much respect. Your hubby is a Keeper. Very happy for you and proud of his support.
