I just have a basic Bernina 1260...made in '94, I believe.
To me, the best one they ever made. Solid, plenty of stitches, and a workhorse of a machine. I have a serious problem walking into a shop and have the ladies there insist that the new ones are better. They may do more, but better? They are selling for over $7000. For that kind of money..........
