Thinking about getting a Bernina - Should I?
#1
I was looking at one at Hancock Fabrics. Does anyone have this model or something similar and what do you think of it?

Misty....if you're in the market for a new machine why haven't you gone to Meissner's? Just curious? And a google found me this

Not sure who Meissner's is. I am wanting to purchase a NEW sewing machine... not a used one. I have two Janome's: a 6500 and a 1600 and a Montgomery Wards that I've had for years. I gave away a Singer that my dh bought me because I didn't think I would need it. I am wishing I hadn't done that because I need a light weight one to take to classes and sew-ins. I want some bells and whistles, though. I want a thread cutter, a needle threader, and a needle down. I also want to be able to do free-motion and I want to be able to do shirt cuffs. I figure I can spend around $300 to $350 for this. I will keep looking. I just saw this one on sale and was curious if it was a good machine.
