Have just seen a post on Pattern Review that Bernina are ceasing production of the 1008.  I used one when doing dressmaking at evening classes many years ago but wasn’t able to afford one at that time.

This was announced some time ago.  It’s because the machines and equipment used in the making is very old and can’t be repaired, or is too expensive to do so.

Yes, that is correct. If you can find one, they are fabulous machines!
