Pros Knee lift and feet
Cons Not as reliable as I'd hoped
Recommended it? Yes

I've revised my opinion somewhat, I bought my 180 a year ago. It has had every single one of the computer boards replaced in it since I bought it. I purchased this machine because I loved using my older Bernina and because I do like the motor strength and Bernina feet.
Bernina has worked the... Read full review »

I purchased a Bernina 180 in February 2000. Within 1-2 weeks of the purchase, I purchased furniture and accessories from the local Bernina dealer to "set-up" a very complete sewing room. During the purchasing experience, there was always a "sell, sell, sell.." overtone to me, and I am the retailers... Read full review »

As of late 2005, I can no longer utilize designs that are currently being created in Artista v. 3 and Artista v.4 because my Artlink software will not support them. Not even Bernina...
