I have a Bernina 440, but I didn't buy the embroidery module. If I had small children, I would have used it. But, I have never regretted buying the machine. It is just wonderful. I have an old 830 from the 60's that is wonderful too. It just doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the newer ones have. I gulped at the price, but never regretted buying it. I always buy my machines at the County Fair and get a very good price.
