NO ! but I did wear out 3 foot controls on my 1978 Bernina Nova....(which I still have and use almost weekly!) Bernina replaced each one of them free of charge as they were included in the lifetime "electronic" warranty... I was sewing commercially on that little work horse in the early 80's. I love both my Bernina's (have the OLD non computerized 830! another wonder horse !! ) Happy Quilting !
