You just got your new machine, catch your breath and see what the feet that came with the machine are capable of. If you can invest some time, go to the Bernina YouTube channel and check out the various feet and some of the fun things you can do with them. The metal invisible zipper foot is worth every penny --- I find I don't have to do any pinning and the metal weighs the coils down so the stitching is where it is supposed to be and no problems zipping and unzipping zippers. I bought a 380 about 18 months ago and since then have invested in several feet. I consider them an investment as this is possible the last sewing machine I can afford to purchase before I retire in a few years. I bought the Feetures Books when I bought my machine. A few of us get together about once a month and explore a different foot and check out videos available online. We call it Playing Footsies! I bought the Bernina adapter for the snap on feet --- remember that for newer computerized machines there is a calibration between some of the feet and the machine. I find that the Bernina feet work better than generics on my 380. The precision in their production shows.
