There is a video on Vimeo called The EverSewn Sparrow 20. It appears that the designer of the machine worked for Bernina.

I believe it's HandiQuilter's new domestic machine. They (HandiQuilter) do have some former Bernina engineers on their team.

Nope, HQs new domestic machines don't look anything like these.

I went to Quilt In A Day in San Marcos this morning - they sell these machines. I asked if they knew who designed it and if it was related to Bernina and the sales lady did not know. She offered to let me try it, but I declined since I had no intention of buying it. They appeared to be well made, but I couldn't see inside it. I thought it was a pretty strong endorsement for QIAD have them for sale in the shop.

Bernina has a manufacturing plant in Lamphun, Thailand, not China. There are many articles about the plant online. Here is one that you will have to translate: http://www.nzz.ch/doppelt-genaeht-ha...ser-1.18093610

Hmmm... Looking at it it bears a striking resemblance to the Pfaff Passports and their new entry level embroidery machine Creative 1.5. Also, if you compare the websites the design and fonts are the same on Pfaff and Sparrow sites.

I don't think that store's, or any, for that matter, endorsement means much these days. Just another product to try to sell. Will be interested to see if on EB videos she will be using the bl or this new one.....

I think this machine is just a new kid on the block...will be something to watch...jmho

I agree with other posters, I would go to a dealer, maybe they'll have a trade in on a higher end machine for a great price, plus, usually you buy a machine from a dealer, you get lessons on what that machine will/can do and you get lessons on getting to know the machine.

In todays TQS newsletter Alex Anderson is now endorsing the Eversewn machines.
