This is my primary sewing machine aka my baby. My affinity for it led an Amish person to call my tastes "old fashioned" which I wear as a whole badge of honor. I purchased it off eBay 15 years ago. Its the sewing equivalent of a grandfather clock - you can pop open the lid and watch the gears move. It's tactile and powerful and makes beautiful stitches.
Even though Bernina doesn't make them anymore, it's highly serviceable with many aftermarket parts available should a repair become necessary.

This is what I learned to sew on! She made swimsuits for us growing up, and altered uniforms, even made my wedding dress with this. If family lore holds her mother got it in exchange for a trunkload of Persian carpets they drove out of Iran on the hippie trail in the 70s. It still works amazing to this day, apart from the light bulb...
