Congrats on your Bernina. I just purchased the 440QE and started sewing with it for the first time last night. I have never had such a wonderful machine. They are very well build and I am going to a class on the 13th of this month. It is a bit imtimidating, but I have played with the BSR and I know I am going to love it. Bernina has all medal parts and that is what made my decision to purchase. I have always been a Singer person, but Singer is no match for a Bernina. Enjoy!
