My old Bernina is pretty basic, not computerized at all which I like, but the bobbin tends to jam in a dramatic way, breaking the needles sometimes. It was on sale for about $450 about 12 years ago and I spend about the same amount to have it “fixed” last year! I think sometimes the sale machines are the problem ones.

D2 may need a serious machine one day but I don’t think that day is here yet and the price and reviews on the Brother machine are reassuring. Mica has all Bernina machines in their sewing dept, so that would have been preferable if she needed to borrow a special foot or whatever but, heck, we can buy a few extra instead!
