Thread Jams. For example, frequent thread jams. Too often I would have to stop in the middle of a project to sort out a thread jam.

Leaders. Something that I didn’t like was that the Bernina seemed to require me to use leaders when I was piecing.

Stitch Regulator. The Bernina stitch regulator ended up disappointing me as it would constantly give me a warning beep.

I had researched over the days when the machine was getting serviced and found a Pfaff Quilt Expression 720 that I thought I was interested in.
