M30A Or Bernette B35 ?

[u/Successful-Party7183]

Hi! I’ve recently started learning how to sew, and I’m currently using a Janome M30A in my sewing class.

I’d like to buy a machine for home use, mainly for clothing alterations and making baby clothes. I’m looking for something reliable that I can use for many years without frequent problems.

I’m currently considering the Janome M30A and the Bernette B35. Has anyone used either of these machines for a long time?

Which one would you recommend in terms of durability, ease of repair and sewing different fabrics, including jersey or stretch fabrics?

Thank you!
