[Design and Technology] which bernina sewing machine to buy ?

[Turri, Gaylene M]

We use both Bernina & Brother $150 from Spotlight. 
It gives the kids a variety of machines & difference in bobbin placement. Stitching etc. we have had the 10 Brothers for 5years & still work fine. 
Easy to fix & maintain. 

Cheers GaylEne
