Kathy, Try to find a Bernina dealer near you that sells used machines. Some Bernina dealers sell used machines that are like new and still under warranty, but the previous owner just wanted to update to a newer model. You may be able to find something in your price range, especially if you don't want the embroidery module with it. Be sure to ask lots of questions and try out the machines before you buy. Good luck.

My mom had put her machine into one of the old sewing cabinets that had the treddle, she put the foot contoll under the treddle and positioned it till she got the speed she wanted.
My sister and I also had lead feet and learned to sew on that machine. A couple a weeks ago I found a cabinet like that and set it up for my grandaughter to learn on.

Kathy,

I too would love to get the Bernina. I've priced them and depending on the dealer, I've been quoted $2700-$3500 for the machine. This is without the embroidery unit.

what can the rest of us do that have older model Singers? it sure would be great if a "bypass" could be installed in our foot pedals or something. i'm pretty new to piecing (I've only done 4 quilts) and I've never done quilting at all. i'm too afraid to try because i'm inconsistent with my speeds still, and getting someone to longarm a quilt is expensive! :oops:

could i see a pic of the home-made one you did for your foot pedal please? anything would help. thank you.

i have the 730 with the bsr as well, but no matter what i do, i cannot get the stitch right. the top looks great, but the back is like a straight line with just little dots of the other thread. i have tried changing the tension etc, but no success.
do you have hints.
thanks

I checked the price of a regulator for my janome 6500. $600.00

I am thinking about it!
