Bernina: Used 1530 vs new 220

I put mine on the floor between the seats. It can't move much there, especially if I push the front seat back against it. Julia in MN You do want it secure, though. Consider that in a 30 mph crash, which is not very fast - not freeway speed - the car stops, but the sewing machine continues moving forward at 30 mph. That seat had better be well-anchored and substantial. -- Joanne stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us.earth.milky-way.com http://members.tripod.com/~bernardschopen/ |

I looked on the Bernina web site, but did not see that info. I went back this morning and see that the brochures do say, "Display of Presser Foot Pressure, Presser Foot, Feed Dog, Stitch Symbol, etc". I glanced over it too quickly the other day. Bev in TX |

I was only on my second quilt when I got my Janome 6500 (superceded by 6600) and wouldn't change it for the world. ... portion snipped... - Show quoted text - So many quilters like the Janome 6500/6600 and have no problems with them. However, I had severe problems with two different Janome machines. I had a MC 6500P, which developed problems right after the warranty ran out -- it would not even sew. They tried several times to fix it locally, but failed to do so, even with Janome's phone assistance. I ended up sending it in to Janome to be fixed. They sent it back with the original problem fixed, but a new problem, which again could not be fixed locally. Back it went again and they finally fixed it. I no longer have that machine. My LQS was nice enough to pay for one of the shipment costs, even though I was responsible for all of the work and shipping fees on this machine. I purchased an MC 10001 just a few months after I got the 6500. I had severe, but sporadic, problems with the tension from the time it was new. They were sometimes able to duplicate the problem at my LQS, at which I purchased the machine. Again, they could not fix it locally after trying to do so several times. It was sent to Janome, and it came back in the same condition. After much more to-do and several more attempts to fix it locally, it was again sent back to Janome. That time they replaced the entire head -- no more severe tension issues! I still have this machine, but seldom use it. I know that many quilters just love their Janome 6500/6600s, but I am now gun shy. No doubt there are those who could tell of similar horror stories with Berninas, but I have had no problems with mine. Bev in TX |
