What is the difference between bernina 930 and 931

Wednesday, February 7, Bernina I've been hearing and reading about the Bernina for a couple of years. It is a universally admired machine, praised for its quietness, smoothness, precision, features, and power. It's also one of the last all- or nearly all-mechanical machines Bernina produced, in the early s -- a period some consider Bernina's production zenith.

Both the and variants such as the and the and similar variants have been called the best machines Bernina ever produced.

With the advent of computerized machinery, step motors, cheap circuit boards, materials, and less expensive manufacturing, Bernina like all other manufacturers has succumbed to the quality and reliability issues inherent with this newer type of machine.

When dealer support has become the foremost consideration for purchase, you know that we have entered into a new era of products whose failure is a certainty. You know what? It might be fun to find out a litte bit about what the lady sewed on it and who she was and write a littel blurb about it. Then you could add to the story of the machine.

Then, when it is time for you or the machine to move on, then you can pass on both the stories. Besides, I loved it when my grandmother told me the story of how, as a newlywed, she bought her 'new' sewing machine from an old lady, who told her all about the things that had she had done.

My kids have the story from that old lady via my grandmother, mother and me. Incredible find, Rixa!! I hope it brings you hours and hours of peace and joy! I'm jealous. You got an amazing deal and a wonderful machine.

Once you go Bernina, you'll never go back! How to not commit the 10th commandment? Happy for you to have found such a treasure! You didn't just buy, you invested! You are so right on with this! I am not an experienced seamstress, completely self-taught and it makes my projects look so professional. Such a workhorse. I have maintained it meticulously in hopes of making an heirloom for my grandchildren one day! Congrats and enjoy! I paid close to that for my Kenmore, which is a nice machine, but it's no Bernina!

Happy sewing! What a fabulous find!!! I need a new machine myself You will never regret it. I recommend reading the manual thoroughly and having a try at everything possible with it. I wish you generations of joy. Did you try putting a new needle in the older machine?

My mom says the number one thing she sees in all the machines that she fixes is a defective or old needle. Starts snarling everything up even when they are new occasionally. Sometimes just putting a different needle in does the trick and saves you a ton of money for someone else doing a tune up.

Congrats on the new one. My mom has five and loves them all for different reasons. I am definitely hoping to get one some day Oh lucky you, i am so jealous!! A beauty in itself, and with all that gear that came with it, just WOW!

Just found your blog, surfing for self-empowered birthgiving inspiration. I bought my Bernina brand-new back in early , and still use it to this day.

Then I started buying every attachment and foot I could earn, so I have the ruffler and blindhemmer and lots of good stuff that I still use. I used it at one time to go through 8 layers of herculon for a slipcover remember that stuff?
