What features have you missed? What kind of fabrics have you had any problems with? Is it enough with "so few" buttonholes and "decorative stiches?" <br /><br />As per 2018, would you still buy Bernina or opt for Janome Skyline or something from Pfaffs? <br /><br />LKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13372029374998927538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409096317187372979.post-23677392494944834272014-01-16T16:26:25.487+00:002014-01-16T16:26:25.487+00:00Wow!

Seems lots of machines are geared towards quilting, which I have no interest in. Glad to know the 380 is working out for you!Mrs. Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409096317187372979.post-55238600028573612262014-01-15T14:08:38.213+00:002014-01-15T14:08:38.213+00:00i COMPLETELY understand what you mean about how th...i COMPLETELY understand what you mean about how the machine looks! Seriously, there were many I ruled out overall because of looks - and even in the Bernina's, there were only certain ones that I liked. I ended up with the 550, and LOVE it! I wanted a machine that was sleek and looked like it meant business, but not ugly either. Nothing cutesy. I think you know what I mean... :) Other than still getting the knack of making consistent buttonholes, I am head over heels in love with it. Not saying that the buttonholes are the machine's issue - I am the one who is still getting comfortable with them.Carol Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409096317187372979.post-53457545195423833102014-01-13T08:55:27.597+00:002014-01-13T08:55:27.597+00:00Where are you based?

Instead I bought a computerized Janome, which I like, but not as much as the Berninas I 'test drove'.

The dealer almost sounded like he was trying to gear me towards the 330 but I think my mind is made up... Can I ask which dealer you bought yours from?
