I know if my machine gave out I'd have to have another one within days and probably wouldn't have time to research it much. My Japanese quilter friend also swears by her Bernina.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858446371419879296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-38339659886456501382017-02-10T11:32:13.486-05:002017-02-10T11:32:13.486-05:00I have had my Bernina 153 since 2004 and love it b...I have had my Bernina 153 since 2004 and love it but don't go on retreats or take it anywhere. <br /><br />In the past I've had a couple of Kenmores and now have my mother's New Home (it is surely and "Old Home" after 60+ years!) and I inherited DH's grandmother's Featherweight as well as my grandma's Singer treadle machine that I made my 4-H skirt on one summer in the 1960s.<br /><br />It's all about comfort and connections!<br /><br />Love your little flock, too. :)<br /><br />Hugs!Barbara Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-58287825223500077262017-02-10T07:53:12.984-05:002017-02-10T07:53:12.984-05:00I bought a 880 Bernina and was in the same situati...I bought a 880 Bernina and was in the same situation as you. Love it but too heavy to carry around. My sewing room is upstairs and there are times when I like to sew downstairs or go on a retreat. A great excuse for a smaller machine. So off to our favorite Bernina dealer 2 hours away in Middleburg,Pa. I came home with a 350 and I love it. My granddaughters insert in her snow boots needed sewing and no trouble at all. Love my Berninas.

My feat...I'm glad you made a connection, Nancy.<br />My featherweight and I have been very happy traveling together, but you have to do what works for you. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't bond with a "Hello Kitty" machine. There would be irreconcilable differences.Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-10301318273484076402017-02-09T16:57:48.988-05:002017-02-09T16:57:48.988-05:00This is great info.Happy Sewing ...A new machine i...This is great info.Happy Sewing ...A new machine is so much fun 😊Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07520386064762851888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-60873915844990215602017-02-09T16:29:17.032-05:002017-02-09T16:29:17.032-05:00Perhaps I will visit for a demo.

(In fact, they re selling on eBay for more than I paid for it in 1989).<br />Not the Gifted Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800593542986503645noreply@blogger.com
