purchased new from a dealer

Approximate age of the machine

one and a half years

Approximate price paid for this machine?

9000

What type of sewing you did/do with this machine?

I embroider, repair clothig and make items in a sewing shop. I have used it daily and there is always something going wrong with it.

What is your satisfaction level with this machine?

I am extremely dissatisfied with this machine. I have a sewing shop and use it daily. It does not hold up like the 7 year old SE Viking I also use, there is always something going wring with it and it is much more complicated for mundane chores than it needs to be, such as threading the machine and bobbin.

Lessons Learned

  • I would not buy another Bernina.
  • I will trade it off as soon as it is paid off.
