I am not familiar with that Bernina. I have a 10 year old Bernina Artista 200 and I love it for quilting. I am about 2/3 through quilting a 120" x 122" quilt on it. I have used SID so far; but will use FMQ for the borders. I never dreamed that I could quilt something so large on such a small machine. I did cut the batting in thirds; but the quilt was still big even at that. Needless to say, I love my Bernina! Think of all the money I've saved by doing the quilting myself.
