Hi....I just bought the Bernina 440 QE..with all the attachments embroidery is what sold me..I also bought the large plexi table attachment, the whole thing cost me , $ 3,700, they had $ 100. off for the month of Oct.. It also came with the software , so I can plug it into my computer, Its my first one that does all I want and more. This will be my first quilt , I always done quilting by hand. My grandmother showed me how to quilt , mostly on feather quilts , she was from Germany and thats what her mother showed her. I love to quilt and still will do some by hand..but this will make it easy on some . the store has free lessons for one year, also they gave me 10% off anything I buy from now on.I just Love it.. later I will get a long arm..
If you do get one , Good Luck and Happy Quilting
