Hi, I noticed your post about the Bernina 440 enmbroidery unit. I just purchased the emb unit for my 440 2 months ago. I was really intimidated in the beginning but now I find it quite easy to use. If your dealer offers classes, that is a real help. The biggest issue I find with it is conecting to the computer and keeping enough room to work. There is the occasional blip, when the computer waits a few seconds to send the info to the machine. but then it just goes ahead and does a beautiful job! Let me know if you have any problems, I will try to help you out. Lynne
