And people mock the machines purchased at WalMart!!
Glad that you FINALLY got the problems fixed. Hope the 830s continue to run well for you. (Wonder why in the world d Bernina used the same model numbers from an earlier series? (that behaved well))
I know I would have been mighty unhappy if I had had all those problems with a top of the expense machine!

I bought my Bernina 830 4 years ago. For the first two years my thread kept breaking. I was so frustrated! My dealer is 2 1/2 hours away, so it's hard to go to him when I need to. Well, I finally took it to him with the thread on it that kept breaking and he chuckled and grabbed a 100 needle and put it on and NO MORE BREAKING!!! He told me the thread was too thick for a 70 needle. Fixed my problem right up. I haven't had any other problems with my 830 other than that and that was owner error completely. Now I use 50 wt. Prescencia thread on a cone with a 70 needle. It works just fine.
