I have no regrets getting it as I am loving its use soooo much. My sewing machine is a bernina so I am so glad I ended up with the same brand for my embroidery machine. With the growth of orders since I had the embroidery, I am now looking into buying a commercial one next year
Good luck on whatever you decide. I personally would go with whomever can provide the best training for its use . . . . Bernina has an excellent training program and the store was 2 miles from home (whereas the Husqvarana was like 15 miles away . . . |
I might have to try Bernina. I haven't been able to find anyone locally except for Joann's and they have the husqvarna and they give classes but not sure they service them. And I'm not looking at the top of the line - wish I could, I never knew a sewing machine could be so expensive! Does the Bernina come with a lot of embroidery options or do you have to buy them all seperately? That's what looks like it could get expensive with the husqvana. I think the packages are like $50 each
and what it comes with didn't seem very extensive.
