Arrgh! The link doesn't show which one... I get it, it's a joke? Now,
seriously, which one is it?

Grr! It's the Bernina 1008. Might be a bit over budget. Goes for about
££595.00 here in the UK. Here's the details:

Just to chime in a bit late with praise for the Bernina.
The 1008 looks like a younger brother of my 1030 which I have had for 20
+ years as it was my 21st birthday gift from DH. My 1030 is the best IMHO.
I do sew a lot for customers as well as myself , and I although I have a
frisker rossmans (SP?) as a back up the Bernina Does 99% of my work and
the button holes are lovely as is the satin stitch for appliqué, which I
use a lot . Like others I have never had a problem with zips or narrow
seams/ hems.
Hope that helps.

Thank you Claire,

I'm not sure if it helps. I'm seriously torn between my desire for a new
machine and a certain stinginess that makes me want to see how the Husqvarna
2000 works once it works. Anyway, I'm in no particular hurry since other
things are on my agenda (see 'Wandering OT'). But thank you for your rating.
Sometimes those consumer reports are not easily deciphered.
