I am a Bernina fan. I find it very hard to use anything else. I have the 380 and it does everything I need. My only regret are that extra feet are so expensive. Just a question here, I started on a Husqevarna Viking. It couldn't have more than 6 hours of sewing on it. Very unhappy sewing. We just aren't compatible...at all, and have mutually agree to find other partners. Anyone out there with a Viking crush?
