I have the Bernina 830 and I am not sure I would purchase it again. I really wanted it for the free-motion quilting. I have had numerous problems with specialty thread and they"Bernina factory" are still working on solving some of these problems.They did make an update kit and give us so it is a little better but still have trouble with clear thread! I kept my Bernina 1530 as my travel machine, also it free motion quilts pretty darn well!!!! Just my opinion!

If you have done that, what machine did you change to and are you happier with that one? Thank you for your comments!
