Berninas are relatively rare here in BC. But the people who like them, seem to like them a lot. This one exited stage right about 48 hours after I picked it up at the thrift store, in the arms of a lady who clutched it to her bosom, like a lost child. Maybe it was, she said that she had had one just like it for years, before it died completely on her.
I found it to be a fussy machine. It didn't want to do a consistent satin stitch for me until I figured out the satin stitch control and cleaned the hook area meticulously and adjusted the bobbin tension a bit. It also has a tendency to become quite noisy for no apparent reason. But if you can put up with it's quirks and are willing to take the time to learn the machine, it can sew up a storm.
