My Bernina 830 came with a quilt frame. I love that I can set up a quilt and quilt it with my machine. But the machine is very heavy and I'm not very tall or very strong and you have to lift it up and over to get it set right. There are days I wish I didn't have to do that....but other than that it works perfectly and I am glad I can do that. All the machines I looked at were very pricey and I toyed with the idea of a full blown quilt machine...but I can quilt and embroider and sew...I feel I got the best of all worlds and the best deal for the money.
