i also have the bernina 730e atrista ,i think if i would have to do it all over again ,i would buy a long arm which is around the same price of a new bernina 730,$8,000.00 and change ,and then buy a janome top of line i ,ve seen the new one and i have to say they sew just as good as a bernina,that,s just how i think now ,not that im not happy with my beauitful bernina it,s just that i should have just brought a regular sewing machine with just embriodery and have a long arm or mid arm to quilt on instead of my bernina . my bernina also also quilts but having to control a large quilt on it is hard ,that just what i should have done from the begining just my thinking
