Congratulations on finding that little gem for your wonderful machine. I still love my Bernina after 30 years, but never could spring for the walking foot! And I had to help my daughter buy her own Bernina "work horse" a couple years ago, 'cause I'm ready to pass mine on to her yet!

I figure that it would still be a good investment if I can quilt more myself. I have several machines.... but the Bernina is a true treasure and a workhorse.....

Bernina is a very expensive machine to begin with then they rip you off for a walking foot that only runs around 30 dollars on other machines.
I like the stitch regulator feature but I will not buy a Bernina because they rip you off.
My Viking is a very good machine.

I have a Bernina as well as Brothers and Singers, and I will say that the Bernina accessories are to say the least amazing in their prices. It sews like a dream of course, but then so do my other machines.
I will say that the Bernina will sew tough jobs that whip my other machines. Like multiple layers of denim etc.
