baby lock creshendo or bernina 750
#12
I have a Baby Lock Unity which was a trade up from my Crescendo to add embroidery, and a Bernina 820QE. Hands down I would choose the Baby Lock. It took 6 months of back and forth with my dealer (an hour away) and 5 brands of thread to get the Bernina running. Had to replace sensors and a spring already. I belong to a Bernina 800 series board, and there are people all the time that have had problems with the 800 and 830's. I haven't heard as many problems on the 700's, but once burned twice shy.

DH just bought me a Bernina 880 with a huge Koala cabinet as a reward for losing 40 lbs. I am in definitely totally absolutely over the top in love with both the Bernina 880 and DH! We also have a dealer in our area that provides great service. I plan on taking my Machine in every year for a spa treatment at my age 65 I plan for this machine to last me the rest of my life. We also got the embroidery module. The quilt shop offers a discount on fabric purchases when you do this. Now I'm really motivated to lose another 49 lbs. to say thank you for such a wonderful gift. A win win situation. This is my 3rd Bernina. We traded my 640 for the 880 and I have a Numbered White Pearl I keep as a back up machine.
