I went to our local quilt show 2 years ago, I was working there that day and when hubby came to pick me up I told him the new Bernina 830 was being shown in the back corner , I had bought the 440QE not quite a year before, my hubby was so intrieged by the machine , he bought it for me, the vender bought the 440 back for every dime I had put into it , now we have another show coming up in a few weeks, wonder what he will do this year, :lol: :lol: :lol:
