On FB, she mentions the FOQ so I suspect bought there cheaply(had 10 hours use there) or a competition prize.  I had to give myself a good slap as well because I was sorely tempted  but lugging just over 6.5kg about from table to floor is a lot easier than 8.5kg.

That’s interest  because Pfaff we’re not at FOQ both Pfaff and Husqvarna pulled out……

Perhaps the machine was used in one of the workshops. The numbers of hours would be about right.

Edit: Pfaff and Husqvarna machines were used in some of the Quick and Easy workshops.

The Bernina 215 I had and bought cheaper, came via Frank Nutt who had offered it as a competition prize @Celia at one of these shows.  I got in touch with them regarding the guarantee and was told there wasn't one because money had not been exchanged.  I felt a bit embarrassed really because then he asked to see a picture of the quilt that had won the prize because he hadn't had chance to go and have a look.  I had to admit that she had sold it to me because she said she already had one. Probably had one but not a 215.

Yes it might have also been used in a class or something but it won’t have been the usual just used on the actual Pfaff stand.  Probably fine

I only just looked at that brochure @StitchinTime it talks about Room numbers, are they rooms or is it one big room separated into 'rooms'.  Just curious.

@Gernella  The full day and half day workshops tend to be in "proper" rooms off the main concourse. The 1 hour workshops tend to be in temporary rooms constructed within the main halls using partition walls and are often open on one side so you can see what is going on. Regardless of type, at any one time, there is only one workshop taking place in each room.
