I've never heard of them. Okay, confession time. I have a Bernina 1090 and I take care of it but have never had it serviced, which makes me feel guilty. It runs fine. Do you all get yours serviced all the time? I had a bad experience with a dealer years ago and I love my baby, hopefully not to death.

There are so many places for lint and small thread pieces to go that can't be seen. Also, inside parts need oiled that only dealers can do. ------ ~Diana~ ♥ Bernina 830E ♥ Bernina 1150MDA serger ✝The Lord is my Light and my Salvation: whom shall I fear?

One of the neighborhood ASG groups is held there too. While I know many people get their machines serviced regularly, I only take mine in if something doesn't work right. I have a Viking and a Pfaff and a Singer collection. ------ My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.

It seems like a great place and I can get it back very quickly, assuming it only needs a cleaning and tuning (no parts).

I didn't like having it out of the house and I was really glad to get it back quickly. It got a good cleaning and a tension adjustment. It didn't need much else. I really liked Modern Domestic and their technician Tony. So you Portland area people, I recommend it to you. And I no longer have to feel guilty that I am not taking good care of my machine. Those Berninas are good machines.
