I am from canton,ohio. Home of Pro football Hall of Fame. Been rainging all day, but at least it's warm. Tornado's on Saturday, but did not touch down.

cindiLou, Welcome! I can't help you out with that machine, but if you look up top there is a search function under where it says Quilting board. Plug in Bernina, and you will see what their owners think.

That is the one I am trying to talk DH into letting me get, But he thinks I have too many machines already!!!! I have an older Bernina and love it.. Would love that BSR tho, then maybe machine quilting and I could come to some kind of friendly truce!!!

Hi! I had the 440QEE for about 6 months and it wasn't for me. I could never get the hang of the BSR (not coordinated enough I guess) and I didn't like hooking up to the computer to embroider.
So I traded mine in last month for the 630E and am loving every minute with it. I love the piecing and embroidery. As for quilting it....I decided it was worth sending my tops and backs to my friends sister and have her quilt them for me. Much less stress and a much happier quilter :D
My only advice is to go in and really try it out to make sure you make the right choice of machine as they are a lot of money and you definitely want to be happy with your choice.
Have fun

Cindi, sorry I could had help you with your Bernina question. Maybe I'm too late. I have lots experience with Bernina since I used to sell them for nine yrs. I would use it everyday on the Quilting frame for machine quilting with BSR and it is the best. IT takes awhile to get used to it, but then your a pro. I have experience with lots other machines, Viking, Brother, PHAFF, Baby Lock, Elna, Singer, Kenmore, Riccar and off course everybody favorite Janome. My Favorite off course is the Bernina even though I have 6 Janome. The thing is Janome is a good quilting machine and great prices. But if you want a beautiful stitch Bernina is the one. I owe a 145 Bernina and thats the one I use everyday. If you need anyhelp or any questions let me know and I'm willing to help you in any way. Hope you did got your Bernina and enjoy it. SAM
