I already have my dream machine, its a Bernina 820. Several years ago, Bernina serveyed sewers and asked what features they wanted in a sewing machine, and the 800 Series was designed from their suggestions. I too, do not use all of the features, right now it is sitting on my quilting frame. It does not bother me that I do not know or use every stitch, yet, as I do not ever see myself wanting another machine, and plan to grow into the machine, as I have a lot of sew left in me.
