If I had to choose just one ....................... I'd let my wife do it and go change the oil in my Pathfinder.

The 15-91, hands down.

Biggest domestic bobbin vertically oriented, vertical needle, droppable feed dogs, perfect straight stitch and a large open area under the arm.

I have a lot of machines to choose from, but they're all missing one or more of the above.

Bernina 1030, my workhorse.

Too funny! What a great guy.

If I had to choose.... (rapid heartbeat, panic setting in, calm words softly spoken...'it's ok, it's ok...a hypothetical question, that's all! Shhhh... shhhhh now.... )

I'd keep my Bernina 640 because it does everything but I would mourn my 15-91 and would have to go on antidepressants I'm sure of it.
