It sounds more and more like the Bernina 830E I sold two years ago. Top of the line, heavy as heck, not meant to be moved, with the same features. Mary

The weight of an industrial without the advantages of an industrial basically. Most of the stuff I saw in the video was nothing amazingly new. I'm very happy with what I have, thank you. Mary Eckstein

I like this company also. Their knits are really soft. https://www.hawthornesupplyco.com/
