Cindi, sorry I could had help you with your Bernina question. Maybe I'm too late. I have lots experience with Bernina since I used to sell them for nine yrs. I would use it everyday on the Quilting frame for machine quilting with BSR and it is the best. IT takes awhile to get used to it, but then your a pro. I have experience with lots other machines, Viking, Brother, PHAFF, Baby Lock, Elna, Singer, Kenmore, Riccar and off course everybody favorite Janome. My Favorite off course is the Bernina even though I have 6 Janome. The thing is Janome is a good quilting machine and great prices. But if you want a beautiful stitch Bernina is the one. I owe a 145 Bernina and thats the one I use everyday. If you need anyhelp or any questions let me know and I'm willing to help you in any way. Hope you did got your Bernina and enjoy it. SAM
