I watched the bidding go up and up, and (knowing your weakness for Brother) thought to myself "I wonder if Cari will buy this?"

Congratulations, Cari! I started watching this machine the day it was posted...of course I wanted it too, but was fighting the urge to buy a Brother - I'm recently getting sucked into vintage Pfaff and Bernina so I really don't want to open up another can of worms!

I sat back and watched the bidding until the last day. Then it got hot the last 5 minutes but I was the more stubborn one.

Are we having another get together? Isn't it about time to have one?"
Cari, I thought that may have been the machine I saw on that site but I didn't realize it was a hc. Lovely, glad you got it it is so purddy!

The hc was my main reason for wanting it. I have so many clones that the color, while it's cool, wasn't that much of a pull. A dark green late 50s model is on my short list, but it would have to be one I don't already have.

I bought 2 Berninas today at my local Bernina dealer. An 817 for $89 and an 818 for $99. Both are in good condition and sew very nicely. I am teaching two young women to sew and wanted them to experience what a good machine is like. They were going to buy Wally world machines, said no don't do that.
