Cynthia-- I didn't say that Asian manufacturers are shoddy, far from it. And Japan IS Asian. Kim

I love mine. It's a very high quality machine. Not all of Asia is the same bargain basement manufacturing center. In many cases, the low end models of brands are designed in their home countries and manufactured in China & Thailand. The high end models are still made in those countries. This is definitely the case with the high end stuff. The Bernina embroiderers & quilters are still made in Switzerland (at roughly the $5000 sale price and up). OMG are they wonderful, but you'll pay a pretty price. --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com On Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 6:55 AM, Kim Baird <kba...@cableone.net> wrote: > SERGERS > These are all made in factories in Asia. The companies (Juki, Baby > Lock, Bernina, Pfaff) design them, but don't manufacture them. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
