Bernina 1008 for sale
« on: January 17, 2024, 17:58:08 PM »
I  haven't had it very long, but have decided to sell my Bernina 1008 - the last of the mechanical machines made by Bernina in Switzerland - it was manufactured in 2020. It comes with a full set of accessories, foot pedal, instruction book, extra large free motion foot, cover, table and I also have a perspex insert for a Horn table.  It is in excellent condition all bar a little chip in the paintwork, works like a dream.  Only selling as I downsized house and not much more room to store stuff!

I love a mechanical machine - so I am keeping my Bernina 801 to take to classes.

I'd like £650 (ono) for it, but will post free!  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  
I have learnt by my mistakes: Sewing machines now are Bernina 720, Bernina 1008, Bernina 801 from 1981, Brother overlocker, ancient but works well

I have just discovered that this machine wasn't manufactured in Switzerland - yes, it is the last of the mechanicals!  I have the machine for sale on Facebook Marketplace and received a very shirty message from a bloke pointing out my error!  Oops - I have also had the usual range of scammers as well!
