Yes! Most sewing machines combine plastic parts with metal parts, although higher end brands such as Husqvarna, Bernina, and Pfaff, as well as industrial sewing machines, will contain more metal parts in the inner workings of the machine. A Singer commercial sewing machine would contain a plastic bobbin case, whereas a comparative Bernina model would contain a metal bobbin case. Metal parts are of higher quality, because they do not stretch, warp, or break as easily as plastic parts.
Bernina. if you buy a genuine Bernina it will be the last machine you will ever need. i am a sewing machine mechanic and i work on all brands and i quilt as well as sew all my own clothing. i have owned and sewed on all the brands. has the most precise stitch and there machines have the leased amount of breakdowns or problems. if you buy a cheap singer or other junk you can find at Walmart you will have so much trouble you will end up hating sewing and you wont realize its just your machine that sucks. ++++++++++++++++++++ I tend to agree to some degree. I too have a Bernina, but I also own 2 Viking sewing machines ( one for working with leather, and one for working with very heavy fabrics, such as denim or canvas. I also own a Pfaff which is VERY good for quilting. I have thrown out numerous other makes and models. Though I WILL keep my old Singer treadle. : }

The Bernina 220 is made in China in a Bernina factory. Which means it is a factory built by and owned by Bernina. The 220 features the same quality Bernina is famous for. The Bernina Activa 220 is NOT built in China. It is manufactured in a Bernina-built factory in Thailand, opened by Hans-Peter Ueltschi personally. Unlike Singer, Viking, and so many others, these machines have strict quality control and strive to equal the full-size Swiss-made machines.
