But that's okay. The youngest we have is around 20 years old now.<br />We have been thinking about buying a new more fancy one, but maybe we should look for another brand then?<br />Honestly, it was making me wondering about quality, when I saw that they make very cheap machines for beginners now.Naulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02287261592452080825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179951681765633647.post-62651372011033978262011-08-04T15:02:38.426+03:002011-08-04T15:02:38.426+03:00My mom has an Elna machine for over 40 years.

I bought a basic Elna 3210 which after 7 years has had just one service and has never jammed or had a broken needle and it has been used every day...I love it...it will go through anything without a single complaint! I have another Elna which is the basic electronic with some fancy stitches etc. it quilts and has the sideways needle setting and again I have never had any problems at all. Neither of these machines were anywhere near the huge price of the Bernina, in fact you can get both for about half the price of the Bernina.Hope this helps...good luck Sue :)Sue Painehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06659049274521912971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179951681765633647.post-66248525674456596882011-08-04T13:38:04.651+03:002011-08-04T13:38:04.651+03:00I only have Pfaff machines and I never had any tro...I only have Pfaff machines and I never had any trouble with them (fingers crossed)Lucie Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09853288285768055919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179951681765633647.post-78608437119088823582011-08-04T13:01:58.015+03:002011-08-04T13:01:58.015+03:00yep I know this problem....
