I have a Bernina 780 and I use it on a Bernina 10' quilting frame with the Bernina Creative Touch Pad for QuiltMotion and it does a beautiful job. I get lots of ooo's and ahhh's during show and tell at my quilt guilt meetings. I also have several ladies that are interested in me doing some machine quilting for them. It is a little heavy and it resides in my sewing room in an upstairs room, but if my husband is around I get him to lift it for me
. I also wait until I get several projects ready to quilt and do them all at once. My sister-in-law bought a 750 and uses it on my frame also. If I'm putting out that much money, it better do something other than one thing. I can use my 780 for sewing, embroidery and quilting. I've had this set up since January and have had no problems.
Bernina
is coming out with a long arm but later next year and my dealer is speculating that the whole set up will run about $17,000.
