I have the Artista 630 and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE "her"! :)
It is an absolutely wonderful machine. The Artista 630 is like my sewing buddy! It does whatever I want, and seems to help me out in the process. I would have a very hard time ever letting it go for even that 830 they have now! I learned to quilt with total ease with the BSR which I enjoy.
I think that you made an excellent choice. I'm excited for you!
