I know what you mean about your machine…I have the Bernina 1260, which I purchased at a huge savings when the new line of Berninas came out. It does everything I require, works with all threads, no tension problems. I do get mine serviced at least every other year at the Bernina shop. Hope yours will be good as new.

I’m sure your machine only needs a cleaning but there is a Bernina 1230 on eBay right now – you know, just in case.

OH NO!! First the economic crisis and now a possibly failing 1230! How could it get any worse! Just shoot me if my 1230 dies, can’t live without it.

You have one of the best machines ever made; you need to do whatever you can to salvage her. I’ve had two 1130’s that I bought on eBay and both were great. But I finally found new homes for them when I got my 630 and realized I wasn’t ever using the dear things. I do love my 630!

Oh, I hope you favorite machine doesn’t die! I’m allergic to all fragrances. This particular week at work has been bad because I have been in 2 meetings with perfume wearers and had 2 migraines to show for it. There isn’t one fragranced thing in my house. The funny thing is that I really don’t have a sense of smell either. I guess the allergies and allergy meds killed that. You would think that I would not be allergic if I can’t smell it but that’s not the case. I just don’t know I am around someone wearing perfume until it’s too late. The up side is that I also can’t smell bad smells either. When we had the septic tank pumped I could not smell it. When the garbage goes bad I can’t tell and my sewing machine could burn up and I would not know until it was way too late!
