I have had two Berninas and loved them both. Started with a 440 and traded it in on a 730.
I still wish I could have afforded to keep my 440 but wanted them embrodary of the 730.
Support from you local dealer is inportant as you will need the classes to get the most out of your machine.
I have never regretted spending the money on Berninas although I do get teased by quilting friends about
buying top of the line.
