I'm in the market to upgrade my Bernina. Does any one have the Bernina activa 230 PE? My lqs has one on sale for around $1000 but from the reviews I've read about it, it doesn't sound like it is worth the money. I really like the old Bernina I have now but I'm looking for a few more features like automatic needle threader( the eyes aren't what they used to be!) needle down, more stitches, and thread cutter. I quess I'm willing to give another brand a try but I'm used to my old workhorse. Cost is also an issue now- colleges don't take buying a new sewing machine as a good excuse to skip payments! Help anyone?

Check out the 6600P. Great machine!!! Paid 1049 for mine. The Horizon 7700 replaced it so there are good prices on these. Very sturdy built, accu-feed a dream, needle threader - I haven't had a problem with yet. Up-down needle position. Check it out.
Good Luck!! I know that this can really make your head spin. :-D :-D
