What a sweet guy your husband must be. I have a Bernina 580 which includes the embroidery unit and some other features, but it is in the same family as your 530. There will be a learning curve for you, but don't panic. Your classes will help bunches. There is also a ton of information on the Bernina website, including tutorials, etc. You might browse around there. There is a Yahoo! group for the new Bernina machines (430_440_630_640_730 ·
Bernina Land) which I've found to be very friendly and helpful. You're gonna love your new machine!
