The Bernina machines are true workhorses. They will do what they are advertised to do, and do it well.
I was not happy about having to change my bobbin tension from cotton to rayon to switch between sewing and embroidering, and did not want to spend the money for another bobbin,
so I had the fix-it man set my tensions for rayon, and I only use my 440EE for embroidery.
I have other machines for straight stitching.
