Trade-in my Bernina??
#21
I was a die hard Bernina user after Singers and Kenmores. Then Bernina began changing every year. The changes were not always so good. Also, you couldn't use the accessories on the newer machines. Then the prices went sky high. I switched to Janome and will never go back to Bernina.

no. I love my 440 and it serves my purpose. I make all sorts of things as well as quilts. If it was to go bad I would have it fixed why trade off something because the company makes something else bigger and better. Burnina will always be making more machines bigger and better, they are not going to stop at the 830 or 840 they will continue to grow as that is what business' do. I guess I am old fashion I like what I have and try to keep it as long as I can. But if you are not happy with the machine then trade, if it is not doing what you want it to do then trade, If you can afford it trade that is where I stand. Can't shoot me for thinking...

I cannot afford these more expensive machines myself. I have been looking at the Janome DC1050 and the 8077. IF you have to choose between the two of them, which one would you buy?

Would you trade in a Bernina 440 with embroid. module for a different brand of machine that would have the same features as the top Bernina and more economical?? If you have done that, what machine did you change to and are you happier with that one? Thank you for your comments!

I agree with 1,000 Projects' post. I traded in a Pfaff machine on the top model which never worked as well and is now dead. The repair man can't get it started and of course, it is out of warranty and it will cost $11,000.00 to replace it...Should have stayed with the one that worked.You can always use the older machine for classes or straight sewing whilst you have the newer one set up for embroidery.

I would keep the Bernina. No way would I sell/trade for another brand. I just don't think you would be happy with anything else. Why would you consider another machine?
Berninas are top of the line in sewing/machine embroidery.
(There is a dealer that is always trying to get me to trade my Berninas for a Phaff, my husband offered to buy me a new Phaff for Xmas because my Berninas are older models, I said No thank you, I love my Berninas and do not want a new Phaff)

I would never trade my bernina's off. I just bought a 440 but didn't trade in my 180. My 180 has so many more stitches and if i could have gotten a BSR for the 180 I would not have bought the 440 but i got such a good deal on one last month. I am sewing on it and loving it
