I'm kicking around the idea of selling my well loved Bernina 170 with embroidery unit. I'm lusting after a new Bernina 630 with the BSR foot. In order to get the new machine I have to sell my old one.  The information for my 170 is too long to post, but if anyone may be interested please let me know and I will email you the information. If anyone has the 630 with BSR foot and would like to tell me how you like the machine, that would be great.  Also, do you think it would be worth the extra money for me to buy a new machine just to get the BSR foot for free motion quilting. I do mostly quilting and make curtains. I paid over $4000 for my 170 and would have to pay about that much for the 630 unless I can catch it on sale.  That's why I'm not sure if I want to go to the extra expense since I already have a wonderful machine.Thanks for helping out a confused sewer.  Lori |

I'd love to have your machine, but probably can't afford it! Are you asking $4000? It'll be a long time until I could accumulate that much! Where in VA are you? I go to Northern VA to visit my adult children, who both live there. Just curious! Serra55

I'm just a little west of Harrisonburg, VA. I've decided to just keep the 170 because I'd never get no where near what I paid for it. I was think of selling it for $1800 - 2000, but have decided after pinning a quilt together this weekend on the floor  that I would rather have a machine quilting frame. That way I don't have to get on my knee's to pin it together; I can roll it on the frame. And it won't cost me near as much!!  I've found one on the internet for $899.00that would work well for me. I could use my 170 on it or another machine. What type of sewing do you do? I mostly quilt and make curtains and shades. Thanks so much for responding. See ya, |
