Bernina 830
Can any one advise me if it is worth having a Bernina 930 serviced. I
have been given one to keep, but the machine has not been used for many years. It looks in very good condition and has many attachments. Or should I trade it against a new toyota machine. I have no sewing experience, but would like to start making some simple clothes and home furnishings. Any help would be very much appreciated. Sue |

You have 830 in your header and 930 in you message
field. I have owned both and I wouldn't hesitate to spend money to have them serviced. I just spent under $100 to service my 930 and it is so happy. The 830 does not have any stretch stitches but the 930 does. You don't see many of either for sale because often when folks get a newer machine they won't get rid of these models. Take a look at the completed auctions on Ebay to see just how much these machine do go for. Taria SueJohnston wrote: Can any one advise me if it is worth having a Bernina 930 serviced.

A Bernina 930 is one of those machines that those who have used one covet. It's definitely worth getting it serviced! Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati |

It looks in very good condition and has many attachments. Or should I trade it against a new toyota machine. I would get the Bernina serviced. If it's in good shape, and only needs a tune up and cleaning, you'll have a good machine for under $100 (depending on your market). If there are any underlying problems, the mechanic should be able to find them and point them out. Any new machine of the same quality will cost far more than that. (the attachments would probably cost as much as the tune up on the Bernina.) jenn I would not hesitate to hold onto this machine and have it serviced. I have a Bernina 1090 which I purchased brand new when my daughter was born nine and a half years ago and I absolutely love it. They just go & go.. Mavis |

I have a Bernina 730 that I've owned for over 35 years....maybe more. Have to
look at the manual. BUT.....be assured......the Bernina will have NO plastic parts....and will last as long as you do. I'm 77....and plan to leave it to my daughter....she has a more recent machine (not a Bernina) and there is NOTHING like an old Bernina....or, any Bernina. |

Sorry I confused the matter it is an 830 that I have. It does work ok and all the fancy stiches work, but I had a few problems with the tension. I had someone look over it for me and they said it was very clean and did not need a service just yet. I am very pleased with it, but need to become more familar with all the different feet and stitches. Thank you all for responding and have a great Christmas. Kind regards Sue You have 830 in your header and 930 in you message field. I have owned both and I wouldn't hesitate to spend money to have them serviced.
