I have a Bernina 830 that I bought over a year ago and am still struggling with the learning curve on this machine. It does not like to quilt with metallic or monofilament thread and I use both these in my FMQing. I paid big money for this machine and am so mad @ myself. The store I purchased in from does continue to help me and Bernina has come out with a kit to make these threads work. I tried it a few days ago and the thread does not break as often but you have to go so slow. When I get frustrated I get out my old Bernina 1530 to FMQ but it does not have the long arm that the 830 has. Thanks for letting me vent.
