When I got my first Bernina, a long time ago as it was the old 850 model, not electronic, you had to attend multiple classes and complete a book of samples. Once you had completed the classes the owner of the store would sign a form in the back of your book. Only then did you get the warranty for your machine. Of course, that warranty was for 50 years so I guess it was worth it.

Maybe you'll be able to teah them a thing or two about their machines. lol

I was thinking the same. She will also be surprised what you can teach her.

Sounds like a better deal than where one has to beg to be shown anything!

I am confused. Why would you be upset about being offered a class to review the finer points of a new machine? That seems like something a good dealer would offer. When I got my new Janome 8900 I got home with this machine in a box and really had problems figuring out some of the needle settings and navigation features, for example. I would have loved to have a review, not just the pre purchase show of the features. And if they try to push further purchases and you're not interested just say no.

I hope she will actually know the answers if you ask any questions.

I use 3 different machines. Sometimes when I take my "workshop" machine to a retreat, I need to rethink how it works. I only use it for a short time every two or three months. Each machine has its little quirks. With your kindness and patience, you might pick up a trick.
