Bernina just dinged me $500 to tell me all the problems I've been having since day one, two years ago were owner error. I feel RIPPED OFF. For me, I have the chance from my wonderful dealer to exchange it for a use Brother they loaned me for the last 6 weeks while the Bernina was in the shop. I not one bit of trouble from that. It is much ore basic, I have lost so much money, time, energy but the last six weeks there has been no cursing and tearing my my hair out, or seams unless they were my own mistakes. purejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537486344131488787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-8477204689557053222014-07-16T06:58:55.485+10:002014-07-16T06:58:55.485+10:00I can commiserate with you!

To add insult to injury the dealer has no staff familiar with the machine .... they did however appreciate what I could teach them from my reading of the manual!

Its a clever fix for the bad designing of ready made clothes. Why we get the big necklines is because to make the larger sizes, they aren't graded correctly to fit, they just take the regular size and if they add for the hip, they add everywhere else. <br />Well the junk Bernina, if you look at it that you have already lost money, value, time and pleasure fighting with it, selling it really is just stopping further loss, you're not going to make up what you paid for it. Frankly even if I had the ridiculous amount of money new machines cost I wouldn't buy one. My Bernie is 70 years old and sews like a dream. I see the original 730 on Ebay and Craigs list every month or two, and for under $750. Buy and old one, it sews like it should and does beautiful button holes too.

I didn't understand why they would re-issue the same number to a new model; now I wonder if it was to discredit the old ones.<br />I'm glad your still have your 1950s Elna to take up the slack until you can decide what to dolDora, the Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043451474748191494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-83674488906711631082014-07-09T18:28:53.205+10:002014-07-09T18:28:53.205+10:00Best wishes for a quick recovery!
