Square Embroidery Hoop for Bernina?

I need some advice about getting a square embroidery hoop for a Bernina, my problem is the price, almost $500.00 for a hoop. Wondered if anyone has one and is it worth it, what is your opinion. Thanks for help

I have a Bernina and, at that price, I would make do with the hoops that I have.

That is why I am having a hard time justifying. All Bernina's hoops are way expensive.

And that is why I will never buy a bernina, just ridiculous their prices for accessories in my opinion, are the hoops made of gold.

I have to agree that's outrageous. Could you maybe check with a dealer, or repairman to see if they have used ones for sale?

My Bernina dealer has 25% off Bernina accessories once a year. I don't know if yours does but that would certainly help. I agree that $500 is outrageous!!
