I have a Bernina 830. I've had it for about 4 years. I did my research and was stepping up in the embroidery world (larger sewing field)and wanted something that I could quilt with too. Getting the Quilt Frame as a "freebie" was a big plus for me. That being said...my machine does not sew like a high end machine. I have had nothing but problems with it from the get go. Its not any BIG thing..its just a whole lot of little things. It may sew fine one time and be as sloppy as all get out the next. I've had it worked on by 2 different dealers..but feel I'm not getting my point across as to what the problem is. And to top it all off Bernina came out with the LE edition before the problems with the 830 were dealt with so I feel I was jipped. Its just frustrating...I love my machine..sometimes...feel like I have a gremlin living inside it other times. Its so bad that I've almost given up on embroidery...and I LOVE machine embroidery..
