My Bernina 1530 measure about 10" in circumference

Awesome awesome awesome. You guys are wonderful! Thank you for doing all this measuring for me.

I'm making a list!! This is really cool, actually - I mostly just look at Singers and Kenmores so this will get me looking at a wider variety of machines.

Figures that the machine I already HAVE is the biggest of the bunch, LOL. (Then again if it wasn't, I probably wouldn't be looking for a skinnier one, would I?)

Just checked my Elna Supermatic it is 8 7/8" and stays that size for 6". Uses standard needles. As most machines it requires its own bobbins, Swiss Elna bobbins.

I went out and checked a Necchi from my gathering, I don't know the year, etc. but it is mechanical, and it is 10", measuring under the needle. I have an Elna, convertible type, but it is too aggravating to try to measure. Sorry, but I think it is bigger than the Necchi.
