[quote=purplefiend][quote] I'm torn between the horizon and the bernina with the bsr. i want the bsr AND the 11inches! and i'm not gonna buy the bernina 830. sigh.

If you haven't tried the Bernina BSR. you might want to test it before you buy it. I tried it and didn't like the way it works.
I've been free motion quilting for years with no BSR and I like to run the machine fast and move the quilt slower; the BSR doesn't like it that way. The dealer agreed that it wasn't for me. I have tried it several times and decided I could do without it.
I do most of my quilting either with a Pfaff 1222E
(35 yrs old) or my Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 875 with a 10" throat(1 yr old).

intresting. i do plan on playing around with it before buying it. we live 5hrs away from the nearsest dealer...
i'm hoping that the bsr will help me move beyond stippling. (which i think i've actually gotten pretty good at, definately not perfect, but satisfactory in my world!) :)
also, the bells and whistles on the machine do beckon. but i think the horizon shouts loudly in the bells and whistles department as well! :)
